Phillies 7, Rockies 6: Sweeping out the furnace

On a sweltering day at Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies tried to sweep the Rockies so everybody could get out of the sun and get IV fluids.

Today's game between the Colorado Rockies and the Philadelphia Phillies was played under miserably hot and humid conditions, with the temperature peaking at just over 100 degrees. It was sunny, too, just for good measure.

Into this furnace came Tyler Chatwood and Adam Morgan, the latter recalled from Lehigh Valley as Luis Garcia went the other way to make room on the roster.
