Some kind of comeback! In the 9th, the Phillies scored the tying run on dead-cert game-ending pop-up to 2nd baseman Kelly Johnson, who dropped the ball. Then in the 10th, Shane Victorino hit a triple to knock in the go-ahead run and Utley doubled him in to put the Phils up 4-2. In the bottom of the frame, with 2 outs and 2 on, Yunel Escobar singled up the middle. One run scored, but an absolute laser from Victorino in center allowed catcher Chris Coste to tag out the sliding Gregor Blanco. Bang-bang, game over. Replays showed that umpire Angel Marquez had indeed got the call right. But Victorino was not the only arm worthy of note last night. Jamie Moyer was again sterling, allowing only a 2-run homer in the 6th to put the Braves up 2-1. (Tim Hudson meanwhile held the Phillies to their 1st-inning run, also sparked by a Victorino triple.) The bullpen then came in and held the Braves' offense down, allowing the unlikely 9th-inning drama to unfold.
Said Brad Lidge of the unbelievable win, "The Force was with us tonight."
