"The Dodgers-Phillies game Tuesday night featured an opening twist in which both teams got their first two runners aboard in the first inning and yet failed to score.

It was a moral victory for both Dodgers left-hander Ted Lilly and Philadelphia lefty Cliff Lee, the former Cy Young Award winner.

But there was nothing unusual about what came next.

Although Lilly pitched well in a duel with Lee, the Dodgers didn't give Lilly any run support. Lee, meanwhile, not only tossed eight scoreless innings but chipped in with a solo home run for what proved to be the decisive run as the Phillies edged the Dodgers, 2-1, at Dodger Stadium.

Making matters worse for the Dodgers, rookie shortstop Dee Gordon reinjured his right shoulder while swinging hard and fouling off a Lee pitch in the eighth inning. Gordon immediately came out of the game.

"He aggravated his shoulder," Dodgers Manager Don Mattingly said, adding that Gordon "was hurting." Mattingly said Gordon might have an MRI exam, and that his availability wasn't immediately known.

Gordon, 23, initially hurt the shoulder Saturday in Phoenix when he made a diving tag on Kelly Johnson of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Gordon was held out of the starting lineup Sunday and Monday to let the shoulder heal.

The Dodgers — who wore vintage Brooklyn caps Tuesday as part of a celebration honoring the late Hall of Famer Duke Snider — knew it wasn't going to be easy against the formidable Lee (12-7), who allowed only four singles and struck out 10 in eight innings.

Lilly (7-12) tried hard to match Lee's prowess, giving up two runs and six hits — including Lee's seventh-inning homer to right field, his second of the season — in eight innings, his longest outing of the season.

Lilly said he was all too aware that Lee's home run ended up being the difference in the game.

"That's going to bother me for a while, for sure," Lilly said. "I was aware going into it that he could hit a little bit, too. That was a major mistake that cost us a good chance to win the game.""
