| The losing streak ends at 9 as the Phils finally get a win. but not without a scare. With a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the 7th, Chase Utley and Wes Helms commit errors on consecutive batters to allow two unearned runs to score, making it a 4-3 Phillie lead. I am saying oh no, here we go again! But, in the Phillie 8th they get two runs in a very strange way. One run scores conventionally, but when Jorge Julio came in to pitch for the Rockies it got crazy. Julio commits a balk, a walk, 2 consecutive wild pitches, and another walk with another run scoring for the Phils in the mess to make the score 6-3, Phils lead. They ended up needing every one of those runs, as the Rockies get two (almost three)runs in the 9th. After Garrett Atkins walks to load the bases off of Antonio Alfonseca, he hits Troy Tulowitski with a pitch and give Troy an RBI the painful way as a run scores. Next batter Brad Hawpe zings one to right, runner on thrid scores. Atkins tried to score from second to tie the game, and Shane Victorino's throw home is right on the mark and he nails Atkins at the plate. Cory Sullivan flies out, game over and Phillies win!! |

The Philadelphia Phillies ended a long winless drought and nipped the Colorado
Rockies 6 to 5 at Coors Field in a hard fought contest.
Jamie Moyer(6-7) gave Philadelphia a solid outing. He allowed 9 hits and 2
walks in 7 innings lowering his ERA to 4.53. Colorado threatened in the 9th
but their rally came up short.
Antonio Alfonseca gained credit for his 4th save. Rodrigo Lopez(4-5) suffered
the loss. He was knocked around by Philadelphia, allowing 10 hits and 2
walks in 7 innings.
'I didn't have my best stuff but sometimes you just get lucky,' Moyer said,
'this was one of those times.'
