Roy Oswalt left Friday night's game after six strong with back spasms, the bullpen fumbled, and ex-Phillie Greg Dobbs knocked in the tying and go-ahead runs in a 4-3 Marlins' victory. On Saturday, it rained--oh, did it rain--and the game was rescheduled for June 15. This afternoon Cole Hamels was solid through seven but left with the game tied 2-2. In the bottom of the 8th, the Phillies pushed in a run and Jose Contreras came in for a somewhat labored 9th-inning save. But the Phillies won 3-2, earning a split of the rain-shortened series.
Not a knock, but Wilson Valdez is looking like the utility player that he is.
