The Cardinals had to win. And to their credit, they were winning. Up one run in the top of the 6th inning, the Phillies had a runner on 1st base. Chase Utley had done what he did many times before, got on base. There was nobody out and Edwin Jackson was pitching. Jackson immediately let the first three runners on base to begin the game, giving the Phillies a 2-0 lead, but he breezed through the game up until he walked Utley.
On a 3-2 pitch, he got Hunter Pence to reach for a ball - I would say it was an ugly swing, but that doesn’t necessarily distinguish it from other Hunter Pence swings.
