The Philadelphia Phillies woke up at the right time against the Houston Astros as the Phillies scored four runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat the Astros 4-3.  A three run home run by Pat Burrell and then an RBI double by Pedro Feliz won the game for the Phillies.

The Phillies were more less dead the entire game up until Jose Valverde came in to the game and the Phillies some how woke up.  Chris Snelling hit a leadoff homer and Chase Utley was hit by a pitch. Ryan Howard then struck out, and Burrell tied the score at 3 with a two-run homer to right.

After the Burrel home run, Geoff Jenkins struck out but made it to first base after the ball got away from Brad Ausmus.  That is when Feliz roped a double to the left field corner that scored Jenkins from first base.

Rudy Seanez picked up the win for the Phillies.  Starting pitcher Adam Eaton had pitched seven innings and allowed three earned runs and seven hits.

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.

Ah, a game that got away from the Philadelphia Phillies.  The Phillies were up 3-2 going into the bottom of the 8th inning but could not hold onto the lead and the Reds came back to win 4-3 as they scored one run in the 8th inning and then another run in the 9th inning.

Ryan Howard did hit his first homerun of the season in the 8th inning.  Chase Utley and Pat Burrell helped out with one RBI each, but the Phillies still came up short.

Adam Eaton started the game for the Phillies and pitched pretty good.  He lasted 7.2 innings and only gave up three earned runs on six hits, four walks, and two strikouts.  Chad Durbin took the lose for the Phillies when he allowed the game winning run to score in the bottom of the 9th inning.
