Saturday afternoon, the Phillies saw Brad Lidge blow his second consecutive days in as many days. Lidge surrendered a 9th inning homer to Rafael Furcal, tying the game and sending it to extras. The Phils trailed into the 7th inning when Matt Stairs singled in two runs, to give the Phillies the lead. J.C. Romero and Ryan Madson each worked scoreless innings before giving way to once Lights Out Lidge. Chad Durbin took the loss for the Phils, who gave up a walk-off homer to Andre Ethier. It was Ethier's second walk-off in two days. The Phillies had just 6 hits in the game, two of which belonged to Pedro Feliz. The Phillies will try again Sunday night on ESPN.
- In the series finale, Antonio Bastardo(1-0, 1.50 era) faces former Phil, Randy Wolf(3-1, 3.21 era).
Phillies fans can at least take solace in knowing the division lead didn't move anywhere on Saturday. The Mets lost 7-1 in D.C. to the Nationals. John Maine gave up 7 runs over just 4 innings for the Mets. The Nationals solution to their brutal bullpen... Don't use it. John Lannan went all nine innings to get the win. He allowed just 4 hits.
- In the series capper, the Mets send Livan Hernandez against Craig Stammen.
For the second straight night, the Braves were shutout by the Brewers. Prince Fielder homered twice for the Brewers. Javier Vazquez took the loss for Atlanta.
- In the series finale, the Braves send highly touted rookie Tommy Hanson against Manny Parra. Hanson is making his major league debut.
The Marlins hung on to beat the Giants, 5-4. Hanley Ramirez went 2-for-4 for the Marlins.
- The Marlins will recall Ricky Nolasco to face last year's Cy Young winner, Tim Lincecum.
