Phillies Win in 13!

Cole Hamels
started the game with two hitless innings, and it went downhill from there. He
went 6 innings, allowed 7 hits, 5 runs, 4 earned runs, 2 walks, 5 strikeouts,
and 1 homer. His line was not terrible tonight, but his pitch placement was. He
was putting the ball dead center over the plate during 2-0 counts. However, he
does have a 4.97 ERA in the last 9 starts.

J.C. Ramirez
replaced Cole and went for two innings. He was solid with 1 strikeout.

Aumont came in
the 9^th inning. He was able to work his way out of trouble to stay
in the game for two innings. He had 2 walks and 1 strikeout.

Diekman came
in to replace Aumont. Pitched one inning, gave up a hit.

Savery came in
the 12^th and struck out the side.

Papelbon came
in to save the game in the 13^th. He allowed one hit.

The bullpen
was absolutely amazing tonight. They allowed no runs for two straight days!
(It’s 2 AM and I think I’m funny.)

Chase Utley
got a single to get on base in the first, and Michael Young was able to double to
bring Chase home. 1-0, Phillies.

Delmon Young
opens the second inning with a double. Carlos Ruiz hits a sacrifice fly to
score Delmon Young. 2-0, Phillies.

Cole hung a
changeup, and Forsythe got an RBI double. 2-1, Phillies. Forsyhe was able to
score easily on a single and an E9 from Denorfia. 2-2, Phillies.

Padres take
the lead in the 5^th with a 2-run homerun by Denorfia, 4-2, Padres.

Padres expand
their lead to 5-2 in the 6^th after a Blanks double to score Headley.

Frandsen gets
an RBI pinch-hit single to score Dom Brown in the 7th, 5-3, Padres. Bases were
loaded for Utley with 2 outs. Chase swung on the first pitch and made an easy
out to end the inning.

Delmon Young
ties the game in the 8^th inning with a 2-run homerun. 5-5, Tie.

The clock
struck 2 AM in the 13^th inning and Ben Revere hit into what looked
like an easy out to end the inning, but a bobble and an overthrown ball to
first score Utley and Brown. 7-5, Phillies.

Papelbon gets
the save, Savery gets the win, and the Phillies win the series.
