Comeback Falls Short

After blowing a big lead and falling behind the Phillies 12-7, the Rockies score three runs in the eighth and put the winning run on base in the ninth. They only score one run off Brad Lidge in the final frame as he records an edge of your seat save for the 12-11 Phillies victory.

Antonio “You Magnificent” Bastardo gets his first win despite giving up four hits and allowing a run in his inning of work. This is an example of a game where the win should go to the offense. The Rockies drop to 6 1/2 games back in the wild card race, 7 1/2 back in the NL West.
