Threat in the Fifth
Werth singles to lead off the fifth. Loney bobbles a double play ball and gets just the lead runner. That allows Ryan Howard to single and put runners on first and second as Maddux faces Burrell.
Update: Oops. Furcal can't pick up the ball on the backhand, kicks it away, then throws it away. Utley scores and the runners end up at second and third. Maddux induced two double play balls in this inning and only would up with one out from the pair. The Phillies lead 4-0 as Maddux intentionally loads the bases with one out.
Update: Maddux strikes out Feliz. He probably doesn't trust his fielders at this point.
Update: Furcal throw low to first on a Ruiz grounder and Loney can't handle it. What should have been the third out is the fifth run for the Phillies. The game is getting out of hand.
Update: Hamels grounds out to first, but the damage is done. The Dodgers have five innings to score five runs while holding the Phillies scoreless.
