Even though the Phillies had a 3-2 lead going into the bottom of the ninth, they really didn't deserve to win this game. There offense was 1-12 with runners in scoring position, if they would of executed better they wouldn't of had to go to Brad Lidge.
Cole Hamels did a pretty good job today. It could of been better but his pitch count was high after six innings and left the game. Overall Cole pitched six innings and gave up two runs. Eyre and Durbin threw a scoreless seventh, then Ryan Madson threw a scoreless eighth. Then, Brad Lidge blew a save in the ninth inning and he was charged with the loss.
As I mentioned the offense did not do good today. The only positives from the offense was that Jayson Werth hit a homerun, Shane Victorino and Pedro Feliz both tripled.
UP NEXT
Phillies:J.A. Happ worked hard Tuesday against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. He put two runners on in his first two innings and worked out of a major jam in the third before settling. In six innings, Happ allowed seven hits, two runs and four walks, striking out three. It wasn't his best effort of the season, but it showed he can fight through his struggles to keep the game close.
Braves:Javier is 5-0 with a 2.59 ERA over his past seven starts and the Braves have won eight of the last nine games that he's started. Vazquez has allowed three earned runs or less in each of his three starts against the Phillies this year.
