First the bad news. Cole Hamels went 8 innings giving up 2 runs on 8 hits with 7 strikeouts, and had should have had his third straight win with a 3-2 lead heading into the ninth. Unfortunately Jonathan Papelbon blew the save and Hamels took a no decision, and the Phillies and White Sox went to extra innings for the third straight game. The good news, the Phillies came away with a 4-3 win in 10 innings. The Phillies finish their 10 game home stand 7-3, and head into the All Star break at 48-48, 6.5 games behind the division leading Braves, and just one half game behind the Nationals for second in the NL East, and 5.5 games back in the Wild Card chase.

Player of the Game:

John Maybery Jr., Phillies – 1/5, 1 RBI (GW)
