Prime-time matchup at the Trop
There were not many games on the docket for Monday as many teams had the day/night off.

Chased Back to NY
Phillies 8, Yankees 6: Jimmy Rollins’ prediction of the Philadelphia Phillies winning in five games will not come true, but at least the Phillies seem to be back in the series after being down 3 games to 1.
