Chase Utley's 2nd game back was a little bit better, well for him anyway as he finally collected his first hit of the season. Unfortunately, the Phil's offense otherwise tapered off again, leaving runners on base again, and compiling just 3 runs despite collecting another 8 hits. A Raul Ibanez double and A Dom Brown sac fly in the 2nd inning, and a Carlos Ruiz double in the 4th inning accounted for all of the runs. For a while it looked like those 3 runs might be enough, Even as the Phils threw away opportunities score more. Finally in the 5th inning Vance Worley was touched up for a couple runs to tie things up at 3, but he managed to get out of the inning and a bases loaded jam with the score still tied. It stayed that way until late in the afternoon when Ryan Madson was touched up for 3 2 out runs, a hard luck outing for sure, and too much for the Phils to overcome in the bottom of the 9th as they fell 6-3.
