Phillies lose two to the fish

June 12th 2008 03:47

Phillies vs. Marlins overview:

The Phillies lost game number 1 of this three game series with the final score being 5-4, Marlins. Brett Myers gave up three runs when pitching in the first inning. The Phils chipped away, but never dominated and Myers continued pitching rather non-promising until he was taken out around the 6th inning.

Game 2:
The Phillies lose this one 6-2 when Dan Uggla from the Marlins hits a grand slam in the bottom of the 9th. Two similiar pitchers, both young and lefties, faced off in tonights quick game. Cole Hamels had a total of 13 strike-outs for the Phils, but gave up a homer in the first inning to Jorge Kantu. Then things get tied up 1-1, and Kantu hits another homerun in the 7th, again against Cole Hamels. Hamels still pitched a great game despite these two runs, and he pitched through the 8th inning. Then, in the top of the 9th, the Phillies tie things up 2-2. At this point, as a Philllie fan, it seemed that extra inning would be eminent. This was not the case and not meant to be. Gordon Pitched to close things for the Phils, and that's when things got out of control. He was throwing balls galore and walked at least one guy. Needless to say, the bases ended up loaded and Uggla whacked the ball i~~Your text goes hereYour text goes here~~nto next year with a hit that made him the Marlins hero of the game.

This isn't good news if your a fan of the Philadelphia Phillies, but it isn't the end of the world either. It narrows that gap between the Marlins and the Phils, and even though the Phils lost this series, they really need to win tomorrows game. The Phils are still in the lead for the NL East to date. Marlins are still in second. The battle continues.

Come on Phillies! Get those bats swinging and hit those balls out of here!!!

Check in later for a report of game 3.
