April 13, 2006 Braves 7, Phillies 4 (11)
| This game never even should have gone to extra innings. Gavin Floyd's second straight good start was ruined by Rheal Cormier and Sal Fasano. Floyd left the game with a 4-2 lead in the 7th with runners on 2nd and 3rd. On Cormier's first pitch, it rolls to the backstop for a wild pitch, scoring a run. The second pitch is mishandled for a passed ball by Fasano, scoring another run and tying the game. In the top of the 11th, had a runner on first with 2 out. I debated whether to have pitcher Ryan Franklin hit anyway, or pinch hit. If there were no runners on, he would have batted. But, I elected to pinch-hit and no run scored. In the bottom of the 11th, I decided to give Geoff Geary another chance. He has always been a reliable guy, so maybe yesterday's game was a fluke. He promptly allows a double to Brian McCann, and intentionally walks Wilson Betemit to set up a possable DP with the pitcher due up. The Braves pinch hit with Brayan Pena, and he promptly blasts a 3-run homerun to win the game for Atlanta. Braves sweep the series, and the Phillies lose their 6th straight. |

At Turner Field the Atlanta Braves outscored the floundering Philadelphia
Phillies in 11 innings 7 to 4.
The game was deadlocked at 4 after nine full innings. Atlanta came out on top
in the 11th inning. Brian McCann started the inning off right when he laced
a one-base hit, and an error was also committed. Wilson Betemit stepped up
to the plate and he was walked intentionally. Brayan Pena then clubbed a
three-run home run (his 1st of the season) making Atlanta the winners and
sending the 43,638 fans home happy. Atlanta won despite being out-hit by
Philadelphia 10 hits to 7.
Lance Cormier(1-0) went 2 and 2/3 innings allowing no runs for the victory.
Geoff Geary(0-1) was the losing pitcher in relief. He surrendered 2 hits and
1 walk without retiring a batter.
