After Adam Eaton gave up another first inning 2-run homerun to Adrian Gonzalez, it looked like the Phillies might be in line for the same thing that happened last night. However; 2 RBI doubles in the 3rd by Ryan Howard and Pat Burrell tied up the game. Howard then broke the 2-2 tie in the bottom of the 8th inning with a solo shot. Brad Lidge entered for the ninth and mowed down the Padres 1-2-3 to get his 7th save of the season. Tom Gordon got the win by pitching a scoreless 8th inning.
The bullpen once again did not give up any runs. Adam Eaton only gave up that one homerun in the first inning, and then continued to pitch 6 strong innings giving up only 5 hits. Ryan Madson and JC Romero combined for a shut out 7th inning, then turned it over to Gordon and Lidge. Final score: 3-2 Phillies win.
