Chase Utley hit a 2 run homer in the top of the first inning, and Cole Hamels pitched seven strong innings allowing only 2 runs, and Brad Lidge stayed perfect in save opportunities this year as the Philadelphia Phillies won 3-2. Carl Crawford of the Tampa Bay Rays hit a 2 run bomb for Tampa's only runs, but the clutch hitting of B.J. Upton and Evan Longoria was silenced as both went a combined 0-8.
