By Paul on May 19th, 2008

Ryan Howard gave the Phillies a 2-0 lead in the first inning with his 10th home run of the season, but the Phillies fell behind 6-3 and tried to come back but fell short 6-5.
The Phillies just fell short of another comeback. Burrell pounded an upper-deck home run to left field with 2 outs in the ninth but that was as close as they could get. Shannon Stewart delivered the big blow with a tie breaking 2 run double with two down. in the sixth inning.

The Phillies now open a three-game series on Monday against the Nationals.
