Brewers Defeat

GAME 1 :

So the losing streak of first game is still effective this past week against the Milwaukee Brewers, the Phillies lose the first game on Monday April 18 at Citizens Bank Park with a score of 3-6.  Brewers closing pitcher, John Axford, let the Phillies score the one run they needed.  The game went into an extra three innings with a score of 3-3.  No runs were scored in the 10th or 11th inning, but Phillies pitcher ,Kyle Kendrick, allowed the Brewers to score three runs in the 12th.  After the three runs scored, the final score was 6-3 Brewers, and not even dollar dog night in CBP could cheer up fans.

GAME 2:

Shut out...that's all i'm going to say. 

A loss of 9-0 to the Brewers in game to, and many believe that pitching ace to the Phillies, Roy Halladay wasn't pitching up to par on Tuesday night's game.  Halladay went 6 and 2/3 innings deep until sent in for allowing 10 hits, 6 of the hits being runs to score. Leaving the total as 9-0. Pretty damn disappointing if you ask me.  Charlie Manuel does not seem to be in a good mood over the current loses, and makes it clear we are not in 2008 anymore. 

This is where Chase Utley is missed the most, and I'm sure every fan is awaiting the triumphant return....whenever that day will be? We all miss you, Chase!!

GAME 3:

Phillies take the last game in the three day series with a score of 4-3.  Thats 's not a terrific win, but it's a win right, and that's all that technically matters.  Brewers pitcher Chris Narveson pitched 4 2/3 innings without any hits against Cliff Lee.  Well this was until Placido Polonco hits a rome-run with a fly ball into left field.  This homer allows Wilson Valdez and Shane Victorino to score in the bottom of the 6th inning.  This ties up the game 3-3 until Victorino saves the day in the bottom of the 8th inning when he hits the winning run out into right center field and going into the stands of ecstatic "phans."  Phillies win the final game with a one-run lead of 4-3.

Shane Victorino hits game-winning home run in the 8th inning.

Next off to play San Diego from Thursday until Sunday in San Diego....
Let's Go Phillies!
