Once again the Phils got good pitching and once again they couldn't take advantage. Roy Oswalt returned from the DL and provided 5 strong innings, allowing just 1 run on 7 hits while striking out 3. Meanwhile, the Phils again mustered just 1 run themselves, this time on 5 hits. Jimmy Rollins scored their lone in the 8th inning, thanks to a Cardinals error followed by a a Micheal Martinez single, and a Placido Polanco sac fly. Antonio Bastardo then toughed out a scoreless 8th inning and it looked like the Phils might just get into extra innings but it wasn't to be. With 1 out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th, Lance Berkman broke the Phils' hearts with a single just over the head of Martinez to seal a 2-1 Cardinal's victory.
