B.J. starts three-run sixth

Carl Crawford said this morning he can’t wait for the season too start so he can see what B.J. Upton can do. Here’s a preview:

Upton opened the sixth inning with a double down the left field line and scored on a single by Floyd, who apparently still has some live in that bat of his.

Eric Hinske reaches on a throwing error, which out runners on second and third with one out.

Hear those boos? Moyer is walking Longoria intentionally to load the bases.

This near-capacity crowd wants to see the rookie third baseman swing away. Mindful of the bomb Longoria hit Wednesday off the Phillies, the Phillies chose the safe path. Longoria trots to first.

Mike DiFelice drops a blooper into shallow center, scoring Floyd easily, but Hinske is thrown out at the plate.

That’s all for Moyer. J. C Romero comes in and allows an RBI double to Bartlett.
