Cliff Lee took the mound this afternoon, reportedly with the flu, and was no match for San Diego, as they roughed him up for 5 runs on 10 hits. The Phils followed with 5 scoreless innings in relief, including the return of Brad Lidge in a scoreless 8th . It was almost enough to help the Phils to a comeback win but they came up about a hit short. In the 4th inning, consecutive hits by Raul Ibanez, Dom Brown, and Carlos Ruiz cut it 5-3. Then in the 6th inning, Shae Victorino doubled and scored to cut it to 5-4 and was on 3rd with 2 outs before being stranded. Instead things went into the 9th with the Phils down a run and they had no answer for Heath Bell, as he clinched the 5-4 Padre victory.
