Not that Garland should get off for giving up a 3 run homer but….

    D Eckstein reached on infield single to third. 0 1
    A Gonzalez popped out to shortstop. 0 1
    C Headley singled to right, D Eckstein to second. 0 1
    W Venable flied out to right, D Eckstein to third. 0 1
    K Kouzmanoff homered to left, D Eckstein and C Headley scored. 0 4
    N Hundley struck out looking.

Eckstein should have been labeled an error since any competent 3rd baseman makes the play. That was a clear error on Loretta, and if it was the game was at DS, they’d give Loretta the error.

If Eckstein was retired, Venable would have been the 3rd out, and Garland would likely still be pitching.

if we rule, Phils come in second we play St. Louis
if we loose the division, Phils come in first, we play St. Louis
If we win the division, Phils come in first, we play St. Louis
If we suck enough for Phils to come in first, loose the division, we play the Phils
