PHILADELPHIA (AP) - These weren't the Fightin' Phils. These were the Fizzlin' Phils. Chase Utley — ugh. He struck out all four times. Jimmy Rollins? He went 0-for-3 with a walk. How about Ryan Howard? Surely Philadelphia's big bopper would come through. Nope. He went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts.
The sluggers who put up the big numbers for the Phillies in their late-season run combined to go 0-for-11 with eight strikeouts in their postseason debuts, a punchless 4-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies in Wednesday's NL division series opener.
"We've all had these days," Rollins said. "It's rare that we had them all together."
