Blanco half swing K. Saunders triples to right center Franco sac fly to the wall just to the right of dead center, jump catch at the fence, 1-0 Phils.
Wind blowing pretty hard, Texas announcers think it may help balls travel to center or right.

Sure would be good to see Franco go on a hot streak with a number of homers and RBIs.
Thanks for doing GT, EF.

Probably time for MLB to change the 5-inning pitcher win rule. I never though it was fair that a starter could go 4.2 and not get a win but a reliever could get one with one out. Wins should be given to the pitcher of record whenever a lead was gained.

Balks Choo to 2ndMazara walksChirinos drops an RBI double down the RF line, 2-1. 2nd and 3rd, still 2 outs.
Our bullpen will probably make the "Pivetta should get the win" debate nothing but a hypothetical.
And there it is, Odor singles to left, tie game. Phils could've gotten Odor going too far fast, but they didn't notice.
Rua homers to right, 5-2.
no worry he isn't getting a win in any way...Pete doesn't look so good after this change
