With fifth starter Cristopher Sanchez facing the dangerous Rays lineup, and the Rays utilizing a bullpen game, it felt like if the Phillies were going to continue their road winning streak, it would be up to the offense. Naturally, the offense struggled to get much going, while Sanchez and the bullpen were brilliant. They held the Rays to one run in eleven innings, and the Phillies emerged with a 3-1 victory to extend their road winning streak to 12 games.
Facing Rays reliever Shawn Armstrong, the Phillies got their first two runners on in the first but failed to do much after that.
