J.P. Howell hit Bruntlett with a pitch leading off the frame. Bruntlett then went to second when Grant Balfour uncorked a wild pitch, and ad |

One night after going hitless in 13 at-bats with runners in scoring position, the Phillies were a putrid 1-for-15 in those same situations in Thursday's 4-2 Game 2 loss. "I'm concerned about us hitting with guys on base, because it looks like at times we might be trying a little too hard," said Phillies manager |
