The Phillies just took a 4-3 in the top of the fourth inning on a bases loaded walk to Raul Ibanez and a two-out single by Carlos Ruiz. Charlie Manuel pulls J.A. Happ for a pinch hitter. Happ gave up five hits and two walks in three innings work so he wasn’t exactly having a good night. At the same time, Jim Tracy removes Jason Hammel, who has walked three and allowed three hits through 3 2/3 innings. The battle of the bullpens begins with Matt Belisle taking the mound for the Rockies with runners on 1st and 3rd and two out.
Update: Belisle gets Dobbs to ground out, and Joe Blanton comes on in relief of Happ in the bottom of the fourth.
Update: Carlos Gonzalez hits a two-out homer off Blaton to tie the game at four in the bottom of the fourth.
