Utley and Howard rip a pair of one-out singles as the Phils have their first rally of the day. Pat Burrell up.
Burrell hits one down the line that rolls just inside the bag. Utley scored, but first base coach Jerry Martin must have handed Burrell a piano as he was rounding first. Burrell might be the only guy on the roster who couldn't have gotten a double on that hit.
Bergmann is right around 90 pitches as the Nats get Saul Rivera up in the 'pen.
Jenkins singles in Howard and Rivera is coming in.
Rivera comes in and promptly uncorks a key wild pitch that takes the doubleplay out of play. Two-run single by Feliz under shortstop Guzman's glove. It's the fifth consecutive hit for the Phils' offense.
After a Coste single, pinch-hitter Greg Dobbs ties it with the seventh consecutive single. Dobbs' hit scored scored Feliz, but leftfielder Felipe Lopez made a fine play holding Dobbs to a single and keeping Coste on second with one out.
After a Rollins HBP, Victorino gets his first hit of the year to give the Phils the lead. Bases juiced, Utley coming up.
Utley grounds into a doubleplay ending the rally.

If Gordon eens stands up to warm up,I quit for rest of season.
Maybe the inning where Moyer got out of bases loaded jam will be turning point...
