PHILLIES NEWS

Cliff Lee wasn't quite as dominant as he had been, but he still only allowed 2 runs on 6 hits while striking out 7 in 7 innings, just enough to keep the Phils even as Hunter Pence and Placido Polanco both homered to tie things at 2. After Brad Lidge and Micheal Stutes survived the 8th and 9th innings the game went into extra innings. There Raul Ibanez ripped a leadoff double and scored on a perfectly executed bunt by Carlos Ruiz after Latroy Hawkins fielded the ball and threw it into the stands. After that Ryan Madson hung tough in the bottom of the 10th closing out his 30th save of the season.
