June 16, 2013 - Phillies at Rockies

The Rockies got behind a very solid Jhoulys Chacin start and the game was over in 2 hours, 18 minutes, perfect amount of time since my toddler son and wife and father in law were at the game as spectators. Unfortunately Chacin's bid for a complete game was interrupted in the eighth inning and his frustration was visible on his face.  Photos copyright Getty Images 2013.

The Phillies would never led go of a 4-0 lead after the first inning, winning with a final score of 5-2. Utley and Howard returned for this series and made little noise but added to the intimidation. All images copyright Getty Images.

The Rockies had a nice game going, but terrible defensive mistakes like Brad Hawpe dropping a shallow pop fly that he did get to, and the implosion of interim closer Manuel Corpas, the Phillies prevailed 9-5. I caught most of the key moments, including the dropped ball and Ross Gload's 3-run homer in the top of the ninth that basically sealed the deal for the Phils.
