Rocking Philadelphia
Dick Clark must be in the park, because they were really rocking on Bandstand today. Colorado collects twelve hits, eight of them for extra bases as they defeat the Phillies 10-5 to take a 2-0 lead in the series. They get two chances to end the series in their home park on Saturday and Sunday.
The bullpens were the story as the starters didn't last long. The Rockies pen pitched six innings, allowing two runs, one earned on six hits and two walks. The Phillies pen threw 5 1/3 innings, allowed seven hits and two walks, but also allowed three of the runners inherited from the starter score on a grand slam home run. The Phillies need to channel the 2001 Yankees, who lost the first two games at home but came back to take the series against the Oakland Athletics.
