The Philadelphia Phillies (5-1) toughed out a 10-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins (4-2) tonight at a cold, wet Citizens Bank Park in front of a crowd of 28,021 that was obviously held down in numbers by the miserable weather conditions.
What was a light rain as the game began picked up by the middle innings. The fourth inning in particular was played in a deluge that had to remind Twins skipper Rocco Baldelli of the rain-delayed Game 5 of the 2008 World Series. Baldelli was an outfielder with the Tampa Bay Rays during that Fall Classic and his home run briefly tied that game late during the renewal of play phase.
