Series #4 Rangers (nyynygnyknjd) v Phillies (platanorich)

Game #1

Game 2: PHI 4, TEX 7

Texas rebounds in game 2 against the Phillies after a tough loss. Scott Feldman went on short rest and shined, giving up only 2 runs in 6+ innings of work. At the start, both teams traded runs and ended the first two frames at a 2-1 Rangers advantage, then Halladay and Feldman went to work until Halladay was credited for 3 runs in the 5th inning.

Before the game, Rangers Gold Glove shortstop Elvis Andrus went on the 15-day DL with a strained hamstring suffered in yesterday's loss to the Phillies. Texas called up Joaquin Arias and Doug Mathis to replace the injured Andrus and Derek Holland. Holland was designated for a rehab assignment in AAA Oklahoma City after missing his scheduled start in yesterday's game.

game # 3





AP, Texas; In the final game of the series the Phillies took to extra innings and pull one out. The Rangers jumped out to an early lead in the first and added two more runs in the second inning. When the game seem to be slipping out of the hands of C. Hamel's, Werth drove two runs in in the fourth inning when a passed ball by the Rangers outfielder had Wherth standing on third base. Chase Utley had two HR with Victorino hitting one in the first inning. The Rangers tied up the game in the eight inning when out of all players K. Greene hit one out. A wild pitch by Darren O'day did the Rangers in in the tenth inning and the Phillies sneaked one out.

PS: In all it was a great series and think that Nyg is a great addition to the league
