SV: Phillippe Aumont (2)
The Phillies scored in the first inning on a single by Chase Utley. Ralph Davis led off the second for Milwaukee with a homer to tie the game. Ben Francisco started the fifth inning with a go-ahead homer for Philadelphia and they added another run in the sixth to make it 3-1. Ryan Braun singled home a run in the eighth off reliever Matt Guerrier but was then thrown out attempting to steal second with Mat Gamel at the plate. Gamel promptly homered to tie the game at 3, effectively sending the game into extra innings. The Phillies took the lead off Chad Qualls in the 12th on a single by Marlon Byrd. With Rafael Soriano already used, the Phillies turned to young reliever Phillippe Aumont for the save and he induced three weak groundballs to end the game

Game 91 – Philadelphia Phillies (51-39) @ Milwaukee Brewers (39-51)
Heitor Correa (3-3, 5.58 ERA) v. Yovani Gallardo (10-4, 2.65 ERA)
Code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + R H E
Phillies (PHI) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 1 6 5 0

HR (MIL): Ryan Braun (14)
WP: Rafael Soriano (5-2)
LP: Carlos Villanueva (1-5)
SV: Matt Guerrier (1)
In the second, the Brewers loaded the bases for the just-acquired Will Middlebrooks. In his first at-bat as a Brewer, he doubled into right-center, driving in two runs. A groundout by Yovani Gallardo scored a third run. Jason Heyward hit a sacrifice fly in the third inning for his first Brewer RBI. In the fifth, Ryan Braun homered to make it 5-0. Yovani Gallardo had a shutout going through seven innings but his control abandoned him in the eighth inning as he issued four walks and was pulled from the game for Sean Burnett with one out and the bases loaded. Burnett and Anthony Slama successfully got out of the jam with no further damage. Slama, though, loaded the bases in the ninth, forcing Milwaukee to turn to closer Joakim Soria. Soria couldn’t hold the four-run lead, though, as a walk, a two-run double and a sacrifice fly resulted in the Phillies tying the game. For the second day in a row, the two clubs would lock horns in an extra inning battle. Ben Francisco came through in the 11th with an RBI double, which would be the deciding run.

Game 92 – Philadelphia Phillies (52-39) @ Milwaukee Brewers (39-52)
Joe Savery (3-4, 4.63 ERA) v. Shaun Marcum (0-4, 5.37 ERA)
Code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + R H E
Phillies (PHI) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 0
Brewers (MIL) 0 1 0 0 1 0 4 1 x 7 12 1
HR (MIL): Mat Gamel (12)
WP: Shaun Marcum (1-4)
LP: Joe Savery (3-5)
Jason Heyward came through in the second inning with an RBI double to put Milwaukee on the board first. The game stayed 1-0 until a Mat Gamel single in the fifth made it 2-0. The Brewers roughed up the Philly bullpen for four runs in the seventh inning. In the eighth, Mat Gamel homered off lefty reliever Antonio Bastardo. Gamel has hit lefties well recently, and with a lack of a platoon option now that he plays first base, the Brewers will let him gain experience against southpaws. The game ended with a score of 7-0.

Game 93 – Philadelphia Phillies (52-40) @ Milwaukee Brewers (40-52)
Roy Halladay (13-3, 2.61 ERA) v. Clayton Richard (2-7, 4.36 ERA)
Code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + R H E
Phillies (PHI) 0 1 1 4 0 0 0 0 5 11 12 0

HR (PHI): Jayson Werth (21)
WP: Roy Halladay (14-3)
LP: Clayton Richard (2-8)
The Phillies struck first as Jayson Werth led off the second inning with a homer. Chase Utley drove in a run in the third inning to make it 2-0. They then broke out for four more runs in the next inning, making it a short evening for Clayton Richard. Ryan Braun put the Brewers on the board with an RBI double in the fifth inning. Carlos Villanueva and Anthony Slama got lit up in the ninth as the Phillies piled on with 5 runs. The Brewers scored a couple in the ninth in a futile effort to get back into the game.
George Kottaras rejoined the club after the game with Gerald Laird sent back to AAA.
