The Dodgers had this game under control but with the error by shortstop Rafel Furcal which had a runner on base.  Chase Utley was able to take advatange and get the Phillies back  in the game with a 2 run homerun.  This was a must game for the Phillies and now has a chance to go up 2-0 in the series with a win this afternoon.
