The Philadelphia Phillies played a great game today but fell a little short losing the game and the series to the Texas Rangers. The pitcher for the Phillies today was Oswalt and for the Rangers was Harrison. Oswalt came out in the 1st inning with a shaky start, allowing a double and hitting Ian Kinsler. The game was then quiet for the next few innings until in the 6th inning. Oswalt allowed a double to Ibanez allowing Young to score for the Rangers. Charlie Manuel decided in the 8th inning to replace Oswalt with Romero. Romero allowed Beltre to double and after facing 2 batter Manuel again decided to make a pitching change, bringing in Herndon. Herdon hit the first batter he faced and allowed a run to score on a sacrifice bunt. The Phillies could not get the needed hits in the final 2 innings of the game and lost to the Texas Rangers 2 to 0 and lost the series.
In other Philadelphia Phillies news, there is talk that Chase Utley may make his return to the Phillies after playing a few games in the minors to recover from his injury. Utley did make a return Sunday but was still on the DL and did not play in today's game. He is expected to be in the lineup for Monday's game which is very exciting more Phillies fans!
