September 6, 2006 Astros 5, Phillies 2 (10)




The Phillie defense saves the game in the 9th, but then blows the game in the 10th. First, the good. In a tight 1-1 game in the top of the 9th, Aubrey Huff walks and Chris Burke singles for runners on first and second with one out. Pinch-hitter Luke Scott rips a single to right, and Jeff Conine throws a missle home to nail Huff trying to score from second, No run scores, game still tied.

Now, the bad. After a groundout and with Geoff Geary on the mound, Willy Tavares singles and Eric Bruntlett doubles for runners on second and third with one out. Lance Berkman is intentionally walked to load the bases and set up the force at any base. Jason Lane hits a slow roller to Chase Utley for what should be a second-to home-to first double play. However, Utley throws it past catcher Chris Coste, and two Astros score. The scorer gives Lane a single and an error on Utley. Huff is intentionally walked to again set up the force at any base, but Chris Burke walks on his own to force in another run. Aaron Fultz comes into the game at this point, and Scott hits a sac fly for the fourth run of the inning.

The Phillies do make some noise in the bottom of the 10th, getting a run home on a Coste double, but that would be it and Houston wins to take sole possession of the NL's best record from the Phils with 22 games left.
