Vance Worley shutdown the Giants again, allowing just 2 runs on 7 hits while striking out 6. Meanwhile, after trailing 1-0 for 3 innings the Phils exploded for 9 runs the rest of the way. Homers by John Mayberry Jr. and Shane Victorino plus a fielder's choice in the 4th inning helped the Phils charge ahead 4-1. Then in the 5th Placido Polanco ripped an RBI single for a 5-1 lead. Next in the 6th inning Brian Schneider and Jimmy Rollins both collected RBI singles, plating another 3 runs for an 8-2 lead and prompting Giants' reliever Ramon Ramirez to plunk Shane Victorino in the back which in turn triggered a benches clearing braw. Fortunately no one was hurt and nothing serious happened. The fired up Phils did a run in the 7th on a Hunter Pence solo shot, but that would end the fireworks for the night, as the Phils won easily 9-2.
