Game 2, (second game of DH)
Petco Park,

Tim Stauffer got the spot start and looked marvelous for San Diego today.

Heath Bell got another save to give him two in one day. The loss was tagged to Cole Hammels 0-2. Padres 4...Phillies 2.

Game 3,
Citizens Bank Park,

The final game was salavaged by the Phillies to avoid the sweep. The contest was another close, tight, pitcher's duel but the Phillies pulled it out in the bottom of ninth with a game winning hit from Raul Ibanez to plate Chase Utley. Reliever Ryan Webb got hung with the loss as the win went to Ryan Madsen. Phillies 2..Padres 1.
