3:26 -- Manuel opts not to make the double switch meaning this will (or at least better be) his only inning. Andruw Jones flies out to deep right to start the inning, but is followed by Brian McCann's single. The Braves pinch-run for McCann who exits with three of Atlanta's five hits.
Gordon gets Jeff Francoeur flailing at a breaking ball away for his first strikeout of the year. A Ryan Howard error and an infield single load the bases, but Gordon blows away Brayan Pena to send it to the bottom of the ninth.
Righthander Bob Wickman is coming in for the Braves. The Phillies will counter with pinch-hitter Greg Dobbs followed by the top of the order.
This is a good one.
