The Phillies quest for their second World Series win in the franchises history could come to a rather abrupt end as they’re now forced to win three straight just to advance to the NLCS after losing their second straight game to the Rockies. Kyle Kendrick was shelled for five runs and he didn’t make it through the fourth inning. The pen didn’t help out either as Kyle Lohse, Jose Mesa and Clay Condrey all gave up runs in relief. Jose Mesa was particularly hit hard and he gave up three runs while getting just one out.
Jimmy Rollins tried to put the team on his back but it was enough. He tripled, homered and drove in four runs. Ryan Howard had a solid game as well and he went two for four with a run and an RBI.
It’s all up to Jamie Moyer on Saturday. The Phillies hitters will go up against Ubaldo Jimenez.
