Reading Phillies Report

Here is a report on the Reading Phillies from David Hoppman.

The Reading Phillies were swept by Harrisburg after losing yesterday by a score of 3-2. Drew Naylor pitched great, going seven innings in which he gave up five hits with four of them coming in the first inning. He allowed two runs in that first inning but later set down 17 straight Senators, striking out five and walking none.

Matt Rizzotti tied the game in the eighth with a RBI single, but then Sergio Escalona quickly gave it up surrendering the game-winning run. Freddy Galvis committed an error in the second inning – only his second error of the season in 169 chances. Ozzie Chavez hit his first home run, a solo shot.

Tonight starts a seven game home stand starting with a series against the Richmond Flying Squirrels and ending with the Portland Seadogs. The starter for tonight is not known at this time.
