The Philadelphia Phillies rallied in the 7th and 8th innings to tie the game, but they went onto lose in 12 innings to the New York Mets by the score of4-3.  On a very close play at the plate, Jose Reyes was called safe and scored the winning run for the Mets.  Charlie Manuel argued, but that didn’t change the outcome of the game.

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.

Starting pitcher Adam Eaton pitched as he gave up three earned runs on five hits.  It wasn’t too bad of a performance by Eaton, there just wasn’t any run support for him.  Tom Gordon took the loss as he pitched in the 12th inning, and his record now stands at 0-2 on the season.
