| Some sloppy Phillie defense costs them dearly, as their comeback attempt falls a bit short against the Tribe. In the 6th inning, with Ryan Garko on second and the Indians alerady up 2-1, Mike Rouse (with his .150 batting average) rips a double to center field. Usually reliable fielder Aaron Rowand throws home to try to get Garko at the plate. He throws over Carlos Ruiz's head to score Garko and Rouse, who went to third on the throw home, scores on the overthrow. 4-1, Indians. The Phils mount the comeback though, with back to back dingers for Chase Utley (part of a 4 for 5 day) and Ryan Howard in the 8th to close the gap to 4-3. In the 9th, Jimmy Rollins extends his hitting streak to 15 games with a one out single and steals second. Shane Victorino grounds out to send Rollins to third, with the 4 for 4 at that point Chase Utley coming to the plate. Utley makes his first out of the day at the worst time, striking out to end it stranding Rollins 90 feet from tying the game. First loss of Kyle Kendrick's young career in his second major league start, and he can thank Aaron Rowand for it. |

One run was the difference at Jacobs Field as the Cleveland Indians defeated
the Philadelphia Phillies 4 to 3.
Jason Stanford(1-0) pitched a solid game. He allowed 7 hits and 1 walk in 6
and 2/3 innings lowering his ERA from 5.68 to 3.46. Philadelphia had a
chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short.
Stanford got help from Joe Borowski who was credited with his 10th save. Kyle
Kendrick(1-1) was the losing pitcher. He gave up 4 runs and 8 hits in 6
innings.
'We lose our concentration for one pitch, and we lose the game.' Gary Lucas
said after the game. 'Maybe now these guys will listen when I say they have
to concentrate on EVERY pitch.'
