Inept offense costs Phillies in Game 2 loss

Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and the Philadelphia Phillies couldn't play small ball during the regular season, and they sure aren't doing it the World Series.

Jimmy Rollins failed to get the ball out of the infield as the Phillies' woes with runners on base worsened Thursday night in a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay that evened the World Series.

The Phils went 1-for-15 with runners ready to score, leaving them in a 1-for-28 rut through two games. Overall, they've stranded 22 runners.

Forget clutch hits, the Phillies can't even manage sacrifice flies. They were 0-for-3 with three strikeouts with a runner on third and less than two outs. Designated hitter Greg Dobbs fanned twice and Jayson Werth did it once.
