Phillies Swept by Red Sox, Lose Fifth Straight Game

by @ 4:25 pm. Filed under Uncategorized

The situation in the NL East is getting ugly.  The Phillies have dropped five straight, yet they’re still in second place.  Problem is, the Mets now have a massive twelve game lead and we’re not even to the halfway point yet.  The wild card situation is even worse.  The Phillies still have seven teams in front of them and they’re 5 1/2 games back of first place.

On Friday, Ryan Madson was knocked around.  He didn’t even last two innings and he gave up six runs.  The pen didn’t fare much better because they gave up four runs the rest of the way.  Chase Utley was the offense and his two run shot put the Phillies on the board. Final score was 10-2.

Saturday’s game was closer yet more heart wrenching.  The Phillies tied it up with a run in the seventh and the game then went into extra frames.  David Ortiz then hit a two run walk off homerun off of Tom Gordon in the tenth to put the game away.  Bobby Abreau drove in two runs and Jimmy Rollins had three hits.

The rain came on Sunday and pushed the finale to today.  The Red Sox jumped out to a 6-0 lead and the Phillies answered with six runs to once again send the game into extra frames.  Neither team scored until the twelth when Jimmy Rollins doubled home Scott Victorino.  Unfortunately that lead wouldn’t hold.  Clay Condrey gave up two runs, including a walk off RBI single by Big Papi to end the game.  Jimmy Rollins had three hits and four RBIs in the 8-7 loss.

Next up are the Orioles, who are near the bottom in the AL East.  Hopefully the Phillies can make up some ground this week.
