The Game:, 

 The
scene for this game was set in the 1st inning, when the Phillies took a
quick 2-0 lead of off the first of Ryan Howard’s 3 RBI Doubles and a
groundout RBI by Jenkins, only to have Mark Teixeira tie the game in
the bottom of the frame with a 2 R HR to deep CF. Both starters, Eaton
and Campillo, only allowed one more run to score before they both
exited later on.  All knotted up in the ninth we go, where Victorino
hits the go ahead RBI, only to have Howard hit the last of his 3 RBI
Doubles to break the game wide open, and Lidge held on for the save,
with the final score: 6-3.
