Rays making the pitching change.

Old former Phillie Jake Diekman coming in to face Hall.

[zambonir]

Walker allowed just 1 ER in each of his last three starts but those were against the Cubs, the Mets and the A's. I have no frustration that the Rays are making it harder on him, just happiness that the Phillies are going toe-to-toe with them (including the fact that it's their bullpen, which might not be the case with some teams).

TV just flashing Tampa's 34-11 home record.

[zambonir]

oh man just got lucky there

[LoneStarPhan]

For those not watching, Bohm got hung up between first and second as Hall was batting, but Rays threw to third to try to get Stott, who somehow made it back to third safely.

Phillies take the lead, but leave the bases loaded. Seems like we should have gotten more. Certainly had a chance to score more, but after the inning first pitch home run, all the Phillies reaching base were after two outs.

Walker quickly gets the third out. No damage from this walk.

Batter Timeout.
Swinging strike (84.7 mph sweeper)

Kyle Schwarber strikes out swinging.

[LoneStarPhan]

Schwarber takes two and misses one; all looked like pitches he should be able to really drive a long way. Not a good at bat.

Pitching change for the Rays. Diekman departs after easily dispatching Schwarber. New pitcher is RHP Robert Stephenson.

Philadelphia Phillies 6 - Tampa Bay Rays 4

Phillies take the lead, but leave the bases loaded. Seems like we should have gotten more. Certainly had a chance to score more, but after the inning first pitch home run, all the Phillies reaching base were after two outs.

Phillies still struggle with timely hitting. But at least they are getting on base. Castellanos homers to left center as I type this 437.
