Phillies Baseball

Jamie Moyer didn’t have it, didn’t have it at all last night.

Moyer lasted only 1.1 innings on Sunday in Los Angeles, his shortest outing since 1998, in a 7-2 loss to the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

The Dodgers put up a five spot on Moyer in the first inning, capped off by a Blake DeWitt three run triple, his first hit of the series.

Rafael Furcal capped the scoring off of Moyer in the second with a solo homerun.

The Phillies struggled offensively against Hiroki Kuroda yet again in 2008. Coming into the game the Phillies were 4 for 41 off of him and could manage only two runs on five hits. They were the first two runs he had given up in the playoffs this year.

The Dodgers bullpen has not allowed a run yet in this series while the Phillies bullpen has allowed only one.

Extracurriculars:

Both teams got into some extracurricular activity during the game. Brett Myers threw up and in to Manny Ramirez in game two and then threw a pitch behind his head. The Dodgers did not retaliate.

In game three, Moyer hit Russell Martin in the knee and then Martin was thrown at but not hit again.

Kuroda then threw a pitch over the head of Shane Victorino. Victorino told Kuroda to hit him in the side not the head and then grounded out. Both players jawed at each other and the benches and bullpens cleared but no punches were thrown and no one was ejected.

Cooler heads prevailed throughout the remainder of the game.

Game 4 is tonight at 8:22pm in Los Angeles.
