A look at some of the key moments in yesterday's game:
Eighth blunder of the world
Martinez pitched seven shutout innings and handed a 1-0 lead to Chan Ho Park in the bottom of the eighth, where anything and everything went wrong.
Strategic positioning: "The book" says that corner infielders should guard the line to prevent doubles late in a close game. Of course, sometimes the strategy backfires and allows a playable ball to slip by for a hit.
Third baseman Pedro Feliz was shaded a couple steps toward the line when Casey Blake led off the frame. Blake hit a bounding ball several feet to Feliz's left. The ball hit off Feliz's glove and went for the hit that started the rally.
Should Feliz have made the play? Put it this way: He's a tremendous fielder and has made it before.
"I tried my best and couldn't get it," Feliz said.
Manager Charlie Manuel absolved Feliz of any blame, and third base coach Sam Perlozzo, who oversees infield play, said shading the line in that situation was the right thing to do.
The perfect bunt: After Blake's hit, Ronnie Belliard pushed a bunt between Park and charging first baseman Ryan Howard. The bunt came off the bat hard. If it had been a few feet toward the mound, Park might have been able to start a double play. Instead, the ball eluded him and Howard, putting two men on base with no outs.
The error: The Phils were second in the NL in fielding percentage (.987) and made the second fewest errors (76) in the league. But their middle-infield defense betrayed them for the third straight game when second baseman Chase Utley made a costly throwing error on a potential double-play ball.
With runners on first and second, Russell Martin hit a grounder to Feliz, who threw to Utley, who misfired to first for the second time in as many days. The error allowed pinch-runner Juan Pierre to score the tying run.
"I don't think [Utley] got a good grip on the ball," Howard said.
