The Phils began a road trip tonight against the Mets in New York. Roy Oswalt got the start and a looked a little better than his last start, allowing just 2 runs on 9 hits in 6 strong innings. Despite that, RBI singles from Oswalt himself and Jimmy Rollins, and bunch of Met miscues, the Phils still found themselves down 3-2 in the 8th inning mostly thanks to their own shortcomings in the field. Everything turned around from the 8th inning on though. JRoll slapped a game tying double down line in the 8th. Then in the 9th the Met defense totally fell apart. Carlos Ruiz singled with one out, Ross Gload followed with a pinch single, Dominic Brown singled through Daniel Murphy's glove to score Ruiz, Jimmy Rollins added a sac fly as Carlos Beltran butchered the throw home, Chase Utley singled to put runners on the corners, and finally Placido Polanco beat out an infield single and knocked in another run as Jose Reyes slowly loped to the second base bag and was beaten by Utley. After all that Ryan Madson nearly blew it in the bottom of the 9th before Utley and JRoll combined to turn a vintage game ending double play and net Madson his 10th save.
