Dodgers' Pen Crumbles In 9th In 7-3 Loss To Phils

Carlos Ruiz hit a tiebreaking two-run double off Brian Wilson in the ninth inning, Marlon Byrd added a two-run single against Jamey Wright to give him four RBIs for the game, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Dodgers 7-3 Thursday night. Adrian Gonzalez — whose fielding error in the fifth led to two runs — had tied the game 3-all in the seventh with a solo homer to center against former San Diego Padres teammate Mike Adams before Philadelphia scored four in the ninth. Ruiz regained the lead for the Phillies when he lined a 3-2 pitch down the right field line with one out after singles by Cody Asche and Ben Revere. Byrd greeted Jamey Wright with a bases-loaded two-run single after Wilson (0-2) intentionally walked Chase Utley and hit Ryan Howard with a pitch. Adams (1-0), making his third appearance after having shoulder surgery last July 31 and missing the first two weeks of the season, pitched two innings for the victory despite allowing Gonzalez's homer. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly requested a review from umpire Mike DiMuro based on the new rule pertaining to home plate collisions. The three-time Gold Glove winner botched a one-out grounder by Utley with runners at the corners, as Revere scored the Phillies' first run.
