| The game was nowhere near as close as the score would indicate, as only some sloppiness by Detroit would give the Phillies all 3 of their runs in the bottom of the 9th on a bases loaded walk, a bases loaded hit by pitch, and a run scoring on a passed ball. I did get a little daring in the bottom of the 7th. With two out, Jimmy Rollins on third, Chase Utley at first and Ryan Howard at the plate, I went for a delayed steal of home. The Tigers led 5-0, Jeremy Bonderman is shutting down the Phils, need runs somehow. Bonderman is a +6 at holding runners, so I thought hey I might have a shot at this! The splits came up a 1-3 to catch Utley at second, and a 1-8 to get Rollins at home. I went for it, Utley breaks for second. On the throw to second, Rollins breaks for home. The Tigers don't throw back home, and get Utley at second. The split came up a 19 anyway, so it didn't matter what they did. Even the fastest guy in the world would have been out on a 19. I think about it now, and maybe it wasn't too smart. First, there were two outs so they will go for the easiest runner to get. Second, Ryan Howard is at the plate who could easily get three runs on one swing of the bat. Third, I should have tried the straight double steal of second and home instead of the delayed steal might have had a better chance at it. But I figured what the hell, make things interesting! |

In a close game it was the Detroit Tigers 5, the Philadelphia Phillies 3 at
Citizen's Bank Park.
Detroit went ahead for good in the top of the 3rd inning plating an isolated
run. Philadelphia was out-hit by Detroit, 13 hits to 8.
Jeremy Bonderman(4-3) went 7 innings allowing no runs for the victory.
Bonderman got help from Todd Jones who was credited with his 7th save. Jon
Lieber(4-3) took the loss. He allowed 8 hits and 1 walk in 5 innings.
When questioned, Jim Leyland remarked, 'It's been a while since a win felt
this good - heck, it's been a while since we had a win period!'
