1-2-3 inninh for Walker. Two ground outs and a K, the first for Walker today.

Phillies need Walker to go a few more innings today.

It's been a while since I have seen a DH have to come in to play a position and make the pitcher enter the batting order. I guess that is a draw back to having a catcher DH.
