Phillies Lose in 16 Innings

Posted by Brandon at 5:31 PM 0 comments

Last night the Phillies lost a bizarre 16 inning game to the Houston Astros. The Phils used there entire bullpen up, so they had to send Kyle Kendrick out there. Kendrick has relief experience but was not used. The Astros had only Brandon Lyon to spare in there pen after using middle relief guys like Mark Melancon and Jeff Fulchino to pitch in multiple innings. But that was only the start.
