Pedro Feliz hit a solo home run in the 7th inning and then picked up another RBI on a fielder choice in the 8th inning that tied the game.  Ryan Howard also hit a solo home run in the 8th inning.  That was wall the offense that the Phillies could come up with on Thursday night.

The Philadelphia Phillies fell behind early as they gave up six runs in the 3rd inning to the New York Mets and then went onto lose the game 8-2.  Once the Phillies got down 7-1, it was pretty easy to tell that they were going to lose the game.

Kyle Kendrick was the starting pitcher for the Phillies that got rocked.  Kendrick only pitched 2.1 innings as he gave up seven runs and four hits.  Only one of the runs was earned however so it doesn’t sounds as bad as it looks.  The Phillies had four errors on the game, and that really hurt the pitchers.

Chad Durbin, Clay Condrey, and Rudy Seanez all seen action in relief.  Condrey was the only relief pitcher to allow a run to score.  Bullpen pitched good, it was just Kendrick and the errors that were bad.

Yeah the pitching and defense sucked, but so did the offense.  You aren’t going to win very many games when you can only score two runs.  Carlos Ruiz and Chase Utley both accounted for an RBI each for the Phillies.
