Phillies Win Opener

by @ 6:09 pm. Filed under 2008 Diamondbacks

The Phillies took the first game of a three game set with the Diamondbacks by a score of 6-5 in a hard fought game that went 12 innings. The Phillies won a run scoring single by Jayson Werth that drove in So Taguchi who led off the 12th with a hit.

The Diamondbacks bullpen failed to hold a two run lead they were staked to by the offense. Connor Robertson took the loss after working in the 12th.

The offense rapped out 13 hits, while the Phillies had 15. Miguel Montero had three hits and scored two runs. Alex Romero, Stephen Drew, Orlando Hudson, and Chad Tracy each had two hits to round out most of the offense. Emilio Bonifacio had a big two run pinch hit double in the seventh that had put the Diamondbacks up.

Werth had the big game for the Phillies, along with the game winning hit he had two others base knocks. Shane Victorino also pounded out three hits.
