2:56: Mario Hollands takes the mound, replacing Biddle, and throws a clean inning that ends in a double play. The Phillies will now face their former farmhand, Kyle Drabek.

2:51: A long Darin Ruf single is all the offense the Phillies can muster in the seventh, as Freddy Galvis and Ryan Howard struck out and Grady Sizemore flew out to center.
