Lowe Leaves
Clayton Kershaw relieves Derek Lowe to start the sixth. Lowe threw just 74 pitches, and the lefty comes in to face Ryan Howard.
Update: Kershaw walks Howard. That brings up Burrell.
Update: Kershaw falls behind Burrell, and Pat pulls a single through the shortstop hole. Victorino comes to the plate with men on first and second. The Dodgers bring the infield in and the Phillies reward them with Victorino laying down a bunt. Pedro Feliz bats for Dobbs with runners on second and third.
Update: Torre stalls for some time, then brings in Chan Ho Park.
Update: Feliz flies out to very shallow right. Ethier almost drops the ball, but Howard was not tagging, so when Andre falls over, Howard can't score. He does a moment later on a wild pitch, and the Phillies and Dodgers are tied at three.
Update: Ruiz walks, ending Blaton's night as Geoff Jenkins pinch hits. Torre counters with Joe Beimel.
Update: Mauel counters with Taguchi, who flies out to shallow right-center. Ethier makes a terrific catch to end the inning. The teams are tied at three in the middle of the sixth.
