July 8, 2006 Phillies 4, Pirates 3
| This game was all Phillies - until the 8th inning. Cory Lidle was pitching brilliantly, only allowing 2 hits through 7 innnings. When the Pirates got a single, walk and hit batter to load the bases in the 8th, I was tempted to take Lidle out. But, the bullpen has been overworked lately, Lidle's pitch count was fairly low, and the pitchers spot was due up in the bottom of the 8th anyway so I kept Lidle in. Jimmy Rollins makes an error to score a run, and a botched double play attempt scored another run to make the score 3-2. Tom Gordon comes in for the save in the 9th, retires the first two batters, but then Jose Castillo hits a homerun to tie the game at 3. Then, in the bottom of the 9th, leadoff batter Ryan Howard blasts one downtown for the walk-off homerun to give the Phillies the win after all!! Gordon gets a blown save, but ends up with the win. |
