Braves 9 Phillies 8

Wow. The Braves score 7 runs in the final 2 innings to secure a win over the Phillies. The rally was capped by a 3 run double that tipped of Roverson's glove, with 2 outs by Matt Diaz in the bottom of the ninth.
Now, lets go back to the start. Hudson had another below average start giving up 5 runs in 5 innings, 11 hits, 2 walks, and 4 strikeouts. The phillies got 3 in the first, with an RBI single from Rowand and Werth. Then in the second, a solo shot from Pat Burrell, and a sac fly from Chase Utley added two more. Next, it was the Braves turn in the bottom of the sixth. Willie Harris had a solo shot, his second of the year, and Chipper scored Kelly from first on an RBI double. The Phillies scored three more in the seventh off Oscar Villarreal.

Now for the good stuff. Chipper doubled to lead off the bottom of the eighth, Teixeira flied out. Mccann then singled, which sent Chipper to third, then Francoeur singled, scored Chipper and sent Brian to second. Thorman then singled to load the bases, then while Yunel was batting, Brett Myers threw a wild pitch, to score Chris Woodward (pinch running) and send the runners up a base. Yunel walked, Diaz singled to score a run, then Harris walked to score another run.

Bottom nine, two outs, bases clear, Jeff singles, then Prado singles, Yunel walks, sets the stage for Diaz who clears the bases with a walk-off double to the opposite field.

Player of the Game: Well, I think it's pretty obvious, but I'll try and explain how big Diaz was. Using a statistic called WPA, this stat is updated live during games at fangraphs.com. It gives you the data on how likely you team is to win the game. They can also assign a percentage to a player on how much they helped their team to win a game. Teams have even chances to win at the start of the game so each team has a 50% chance of winning, a team only needs to gain another 50% to win the game. Matt Diaz won 90.8% of the game for us, or a WPA .908, the league leader for the season, A-Rod, has a combined WPA on the season of 6.10. WOW!
