- Marlon Byrd went 3-5 with two doubles, and drove in four runs.
- Ben Revere went 2-5 with two singles.
- Cody Asche went 1-5 in his return to the lineup.
- Freddy Galvis played both shortstop and third, and went 0-3.
- Jake Diekman recorded the final out of the sixth inning.

- Jonathan Papelbon pitched a scoreless ninth.
Final Thoughts
After a poor start to the road trip, the Phillies have won four of their last five, and taken three of four from a very good team in the Dodgers.
Should Ryne Sandberg consider leaving Carlos Ruiz at the top of the order? The veteran has responded extremely well whenever he’s been asked to move up in the lineup this year.

CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCH!
fuck freddy!
To win 3 out of 4 from the Dodgers is huge. The Phils are proving they still have a lot of fight in them..
Phils need to ride the momentum and beat up on teh Arizona Diamondbacks who starting Pitching has the highest ERA in all of Baesball so keep the Bats hot.. D-Backs will score runs with solid Hitters like Goldschmidt,Trumbo and Montero, but Phils need to jump on them early and often..
Expect a big-series from Utley who has always played well at that Arizona Park
Can’t get too up or down during a long season but it can be said so far that Sandburg is pushing buttons and the guys who get the big checks are doing what they are supposed to do .
Pman I’m back in hickory this week after spending a few days in Asheville … Pretty here but the sports suck
