June 20, 2009 (Philadelphia)

An interleague matchup between the Phillies and the Baltimore Orioles. The Phils have to win at least one more in this homestead. I mean, they can’t be this bad at home, to a point where they could get swept by one of the worst teams in baseball.

Well, it turns out, the Phillies took a 1-0 lead on a Greg Dobbs home run. But that is all they could muster. The Orioles scored 2 runs, and that is all they needed, as they beat the Phils 2-1. Cole Hamels pitched a great game, but he was the hard-luck loser in the game.

I got to see a manager ejection and get a free bucket hat. But still, the Phils did indeed, get swept by the O’s. Maybe the upcoming road trip will be their remedy.
