Phillies fall to Tigers in extra innings

03/23/2006
Tigers at the plate: Chris Shelton's two-run single capped a four-run third inning. Vance Wilson's RBI single extended his Spring Training hitting streak to 10 games, while Placido Polanco added an RBI single. Curtis Granderson's two-run single in the eighth tied the game. Don Kelly's sacrifice fly in the 10th inning scored Nook Logan for the winning run.
Phillies at the plate: Ryan Howard hit his franchise-record 10th home run of the spring with a solo shot leading off the seventh inning. Shane Victorino and Chase Utley powered Philadelphia's offense with back-to-back home runs in the fourth inning. Victorino tied the game in the eighth inning with an RBI groundout before Chris Coste singled in Jimmy Rollins to put the Phillies ahead. Peter Bergeron added a sacrifice fly.
Tigers on the mound: Justin Verlander shut down everything but the weather. He retired all six batters he faced before a 44-minute rain delay knocked him out of a game in which he was supposed to pitch five innings. After Jamie Walker gave up the back-to-back homers in the fourth, and Joel Zumaya pitched two scoreless innings.
Phillies on the mound: Robinson Tejeda lasted just one scoreless inning before the rain delay. Aaron Fultz retired the side in the second before former Tigers Rule 5 pick Chris Booker gave up the damage in the third.
