Justin Bour walks.
That 0-2 pitch has to be a strike with many umps. All four balls were close but I guess this ump is locked in on the zone and is really calling them as the box on TV shows them. Ball four was again, oh so close to the strike zone and again is often called a strike by some umps.
Regardless of the walk, Arrieta completes 7 scoreless innings. Another great start from the veteran.

Carlos Santana grounds out sharply to first baseman Justin Bour.
Santana put a jolt in that one, but a great snag by Boar robs the Phillies of at least one run.
Back to the bullpen to hold the one run lead.
Looks like its up to the bullpen to "save" this game

Cameron Maybin walks.
Two outs. 0-2 count. Of course, it will be 3 balls in a row. Then a ball four that was very, very close to strike three. But why let it get to a full count.
Maybin on base 3 times. Not bad for a .235 hitter.
