Phillies vs. Dodgers: The Dodgers scored twice in a bizarre eighth inning where the Phillies used five relievers to try to hold onto a slim 1-0 lead. Honestly, Philadelphia's effort on the field in the frame was just ugly as they gave up two lead-off singles (a single by Casey Blake and a bunt by Ronnie Belliard) and moments later, Chase Utley would field a ball from Russell Martin and try to complete a double play. However, Utley's throw to first would completely sail by Ryan Howard and allow Juan Pierre who was pinch running for Casey Blake to score and tie the game.
As a band of relievers came in for the Phillies, they would give up another hit, wal! k a batter, and struck out one before Andre Ethier came to the plate. J.A. Happ came in for Philadelphia and his job was to only get one out Ethier however, he would walk him and give the Dodgers a 2-1 lead.
