Entering the inning with no hits, Utley and Howard went down quickly to bring Werth to the plate. After a clean base hit and a passed ball, Ibanez drove the ball up the middle, plating Werth to cut the deficit to 3.
Victorino narrowly missed a home run as the ball just sliced foul. Going into the bottom of the inning, a struggling 59-pitch Joe Blanton tries to keep the Phillies a manageable distance away.
