Bad Call

Carl Crawford beats out bunt to start the seventh for the Rays. The replay shows, however, that Moyer and Howard made the play. Moyer flipped from his glove and Howard made a bare-hand catch, but the umpire was blocked on the play.

Update: Navarro doubles and Gross grounds out on a nice play by Howard. The Phillies lead is down to 4-2.

Update: That's it for Moyer as he leaves after 6 1/3 innings and 96 pitches. He can't lose the game as he's only responsible for the man on third. Durbin comes in to see if he can strand that runner. Moyer gave up just five hits and one walk while striking out five. A great game for the old man in his first World Series.

Update: Barlett grounds out to plate Navarro as the Rays get those two runs back. Garza yields to the pinch hitter Willy Aybar.

Update: Aybar walks and Manuel brings in Scott Eyre to face the lefty Iwamura.

Update: Eyre does his job and strikes out Iwamura to end the inning. The Phillies lead 4-3 at the stretch. All three Rays runs came on outs tonight.

Update: Bradford retires the Phillies 1-2-3 in the bottom of the seventh. The Rays have Upton, Pena and Longoria due up in the eighth.

That blown call is a killer for the Phils. They should be out of this inning with a 4-1 lead. Instead we not get a one run game with the winning run coming to the plate. After what happened with blown calls against the Phils in the last game, you have wonder when it is going to go the other way again.
