Trouble in the Second

Shane Victorino reaches on an infield hit and Pedro Feliz walks to put two on with none out in the top of the second for the Phillies. Kazmir comes very close to picking off Shane at second. Feliz doesn't walk much, showing how wild Kazmir was throwing.

Update: After a fly out, Kazmir walks Ruiz. The Phillies have the bases loaded with one out and Kazmir continues to be wild. He's thrown 17 balls and 21 strikes so far.

Update: Rollins swings at the first pitch and hits a fly ball to shallow center. Victorino tries to score but B.J. Upton makes a perfect throw to the plate to nail him. That ends the inning. Rollins should have let Kazmir be wild, and Shane should have known better to run on someone with 16 base runner kills. What could have been a big inning turns into nothing. The score remains 2-0 Phillies going to the bottom of the second.

Update: Hamels has no trouble in the bottom of the inning, striking out two as he retires the side in order. He's thrown 25 pitches, 17 for strikes.
