Dodgers, Rollins defeat Phillies in marathon 'bullpen game

Three hours before Yimi Garcia would throw the first pitch of a game that would turn out to be one of the longest nine-inning games in Phillies history, Jimmy Rollins said it would be no different than any other game.

Rollins first joined the Phillies 19 years ago last month. He didn't leave until December.

Still, he was treating Game No.84 on the Los Angeles Dodgers schedule like the first 83.

"They're trying to get me out and I'm trying to get hits," Rollins said. "They're trying to win and so are we. It's really another baseball game.
