Two Out Hitting

Greg Dobbs singles in the bottom of the second with two out, and Carlos Ruiz rolls a double through the leftfield gap all the way to the wall, scoring Dobbs from first. Brett Myers then hits the first pitch for a line drive single up the middle, and the Phillies lead 2-1. Myers picked up four hits in the regular season, and he now has two in the post season.

Update: Jimmy Rollins reaches second on a slow roller up the middle. DeWitt can't get to the ball, then Kemp boots the ball in centerfield, kicking it away. I thought Myers might have hurt himself running to third, but he just slipped. Four straight hits with two out in the second. One more and the Phillies will have a nice lead.

Update: Victorino delivers a line shot to left, and the Phillies take a 4-1 lead.

Update: Billingsley only allowed four runs or more once in his last 16 starts.

Update: Utley walks as Billingsley is starting to have trouble finding the plate. This would be a bad spot for Chad to hang a pitch.

Update: Howard strikes out, as Billingsley does strike out three in the inning. He just couldn't get an out when the Phillies put the bat on the ball. Howard, with his second strikeout of the game, now has seven strikeouts in 17 at bats.
