| For the fifth game in a row, the game is decided by only one run with the Phillies on the short end of the stick. After the Marlins jump out to a quick 2-0 lead, Jimmy Rollins gives the Phillies a run back by hitting a single and getting to home plate with no help from his teammates. How is that possible? Rollin stole second and third, and comes home on a wild pitch by Andrew Miller. Rollins strikes again in the 3rd when he and Shane Victorino go deep for back-to-back homeruns and a 3-2 Phillie lead that looked like it would hold up. When Ryan Madson smokes through the 8th inning, he stays on for the 9th but after an out allows a double for Cody Ross and a single by Chris Coghlan with Ross stopping at third. Brad Lidge comes on at that point, but pinch-hitter Ronny Paulino rips a single to right. Ross scores easy for the tying run, and Coghlan tries for third while Jayson Werth's throw to third goes wild enabling Coughlan to advance home for the go ahead run. Some strong Marlins defense saves them in the 9th, when Ross makes a shoestring catch of a sure game-tying double for Chris Coste for the final out of the game. Interesting statistical oddity of the day - Madson gets a hold and Lidge gets his first blown save of the year. You would think by seeing that kind of thing and with the final score that Lidge would get the loss, however Madson gets the loss since both runners on base were his responsibility and charged to him. One of the ways that sometimes won-loss records for relievers can be a bit misleading at times. |

WEB GEMS- Bot 9th: Cody Ross robbed Chris Coste of an extra base hit.
In a great finish the Florida Marlins came back in the top of the ninth and
held on to win over the ice-cold Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 4 to 3
at Citizen's Bank Park.
Florida erupted with the game winning runs in the top of the 9th inning with 2
runs on 3 hits. After an out was recorded, Cody Ross began the rally when he
doubled. Chris Coghlan stepped into the batter's box and he smacked a
single. Ronny Paulino then delivered a base-hit, and an error was also
committed. Florida rapped out 7 hits for the night.
The victory went to Cristhian Martinez*(1-0) who went 2 innings, allowing no
runs. Leo Nunez recorded his 10th save. Ryan Madson(1-1) was charged with
the loss in relief.
'The only way this one could have been better', said Martinez*, 'was if we had
played it at home.'
