First inning starts out same us usual.
Rollins walks, Victorino gets on but Utley hits a shot right the middle and hits Zambrano's foot. Rollins gets caught off third but is able to get into a rundown for Utley and Victorino to get to second and third.
Looks like a rally or does it? Howard can't hit with runners on either and grounds out to first. Victorino scores on the out.
Polanco grounds out to end the inning. The only, run scores on an pit, not a hit.
Second inning was better. Ibanez leads off with another walk to start an inning, Dom Brown homers to right. 3-0 Phils.
That was it until the bottom of the seventh.
Rollins walks, Victorino bunts him over. Two more walks and the bases are loaded.
Then on a 2-0 pitch to Polanco they score for runs with only one hit. Couple more runners after that but Brown and Francisco strike out.
Halladay has over 100 pitches and it is 7-0 so no reason to keep him in the game so contreras comes in does his best to give it all back.
He pitched one third an inning but managed to walk two give up two hits and four runs. He got help from J.C. Romero. Romero came in with one of Contreras runners still on.
Romero let's that guy score and also gave up two hits, a walk and a run of his own. Stutes had to come in because Romero couldn't get one single out.
Mood, what should it be? They scored seven brut even then it's not a nice easy win because the bull pen tries tomgive it all back.
Polanco hit his 100th career homer but Howard is now hitting .238 ouch.
Win 7-5
Streak 1 win
Last ten 4-6
Record 38-26 Back to the best winning percentage but barely above the Cards. 5-7 since getting to 14 over after taking 3 of 4 from the Reds

One additional note. They peaked early at 25-12. Since then 13-14 in the last 27 games.
After today's game Boston will be 38-26 and are playing exactly as everyone predicted before the season.
