The Hits Keep Coming

Burrell and Werth lead off the third with a single and a double, putting men on 2nd and 3rd. The Phillies now have seven hits in the game. Billingsley gave up 188 hits in 200 2/3 innings this season. Dobbs get intentionally walked to load the bases for Ruiz and Myers.

Update: Ruiz grounds to first, and Loney forces the runner at the plate. Nice play by Loney on a ball that wasn't hit particularly hard.

Myers then smacks a ball by Loney, just inside the first base line and two runs score. It's 6-2 Phillies, and Myers has driven in half the Phillies runs. That's it for Chad Billingsley.

Update: Chan Ho Park comes on for the second time in this series.

Update: Note that Myers's career high in RBI is 5 in 2005. He's picked up 1 or 0 in every other year.

Update: Myers is getting a good workout running in this game. After Park strikes out Rollins, Victorino doubles to right-center, and Myers scores all the way from first, a two-run triple for Shane. The Phillies lead 8-2.

Philadelphia hasn't hit for a high average so far in the post season, depending on extra-base hits to generate runs. Today, however, they're nine for seventeen with six singles.

Update: Joe Beimel takes over for Park.

Update: Chase Utley walks, bringing up Ryan Howard. For the second inning in a row, Howard is the ninth batter.

Update: Howard walks on a 3-2 count to load the bases. Nice job by Beimel, walking the two lefties he was brought into face. Neither Utley nor Howard has but the ball in play today as Chase walked three times and Ryan struck out twice.

Update: James McDonald enters on a double switch. Jeff Kent comes in to play second.

Update: McDonald strikes out Burrell to end the third. The Phillies put the Dodgers in a big hole, leading 8-2 after three.
