Game 48 Reds @ Phils

After the previous games explosion they went back to normal tonight.
Normal being only seven hits and not moving runners over plus no hits with runners in scoring position.

Vance Worley wasn't awful but he wasn't good enough either.
While he was able to get out of a few jams, he did walk the pitcher as a leadoff batter right after the Phils took a 3-1 lead.
Guess what, he scored and so did one more to tie the game.

Worley complained after the game that he hasn't pitched enough lately and wasn't stretched out, saying that he tired out in that inning.

So game was tied at three into the ninth, but something just didn't feel right on this one and I just expected it all to blow up.

It did in the ninth when Madson himself blew up and after loading the bases giving up a bases clearing double to Jay Bruce.

Might have gotten out of it but on a bunt to the third base side Madson got in front of Polanco and threw a grenade over to first. Polanco easily would have made the play.

Mood is slightly irritated because if they get a few timely hits and Worley doesn't walk the pitcher they have a good chance to win.

Loss 6-3
Streak loss 1
Record 30-19
