Pedro Feliz did not start the game at third base but he surely had a huge impact on the outcome as he belted a three run walkoff win home run in the 11th inning to give the Fightins a 5-2 victory over the Dodgers.   Joe Blanton started the game on the hill for the Phillies and pitched six innings giving up one run on six hits.  Blanton was scored upon in the very first inning as the Dodgers loaded the bases with one out and James Loney knocked in Andre Ethier with the games first run.  Blanton then pitched out of the trouble without allowing another run to score and went another five holding the Dodgers scoreless.

The Phillies tied the score in the home fifth as Chase Utley singled to knock in Carlos Ruiz.  The Dodgers re-took the lead in the seventh as Jeff Kent singled off of Ryan Madson to score Ethier again.  Pedro Feliz was the tieing hero as well as with two outs in the bottom of the ninth he singled to knock in Shane Victorino and knot the score at two!  That set up the extra inning heroics for Feliz as he belted a Jason Johnson fastball deep into the left center field seats scoring Chris Coste and Victorino in front of him.  Chad Durbin earned his fifth win of the season as pitched the two extra frames of play.

With the win the Phillies closed to within 1/2 game of the New York Mets for first place in the NL Eastern Divsion.  Andy Tracy made his Phillies debut with a pinch hit walk in the ninth inning.  Jimmy Rollins continued to struggle going 0 for 5 in the game.  According to Fox Sports Ken Rosenthal the Phillies have been frustrated attempting to add a quality bat off the bench.  Texas just put Frank Catalanotto on waivers and he has cleared the American League but issue with him is monies due for 2009 and 2010.   He is a good left handed hitter but not sure if the club would eat the six million due him for the following two years.   Brett Myers takes the hill tonight for the Fightins looking to return the favor of a four game series sweep to the Dodgers!
