| All of the runs for the Phillies are scored in the first inning on only two hits with a couple of walks, an error, a hit batter and a wild pitch tossed in for good measure. They end up outhit by Minnesota for the game, but four doubleplays turned by the Phillies (three of those to end an inning and the other scoring the Twins only run) help the cause. The American League Twins, not used to the NL style of baseball and with their starter yanked after that first inning, go through five pitchers and four pinch-hitters for pitchers. They were trailing in the game from the beginning and were trying to get runs, but that still seems kind of high. This is the Twins first trip to Philly since 2002.
