Philly Comeback
The Marlins scored an insurance run in the bottom of the 8th, but the Phillies used walks, hits and errors to score three in the top of the ninth. There are still no outs and the Phillies have men on 2nd and 3rd. I haven't seen the replay yet, but I'm assuming the the error by Castillo had a potential to be a double play.
Update: More hits and another error and the Phillies are up 6-2. Todd Jones faced five batters, gave up four hits without getting an out. The first two runs are charged to Willis, but only one will be earned.
Update: The Phillies score 10 in the 9th. The Marlins load the bases in the bottom of the inning, but fail to score, running their losing streak to four games. A Washington win tonight would tie the Nationals for third in the Wild Card race.
The Phillies are certainly sending a message in Florida. Two blowout victories make the Phillies look like the most likely team make the wild card from the East. Tomorrow becomes a must win game for the Marlins.
Update: Vilone comes in and gives up two more hits to make the score 8-2 in favor of the Phillies. At least Vilone got an out.
