What It Means:  This loss dropped the Phils into sole possession of last place in the N.L. East.

What Happened:  Kyle Kendrick kept the team in the game, allowing three runs in his seven innings of work, but the offense managed just five singles and went 0 for 4 with runners in scoring position.

Featured Card:  This was the team's fourth consecutive game without an extra base hit, matching a streak set in May 1968.  Left fielder Tony Gonzalez broke that streak on May 17, 1968 with an eighth inning double off the Cardinals' Bob Gibson.
