Nice Slide

After DeWitt grounds into the double play, he fails to get a tag on Rollins stealing second in the top of the third. Jimmy walked to reach and the throw beat him easily. DeWitt took the throw in front of the bag, and Rollins slid to the back of the bag. Blake could not get the tag around in time to earn the putout.

Update: Utley walks to put men on first and second for Ryan Howard with two out.

Update: Billingsley makes Howard look bad on two fastballs, but hangs a curves that Ryan smacks for an RBI single. The Phillies lead 2-0.

Update: Burrell singles into the gap in right, plating Utley from third. Ryan goes to third on the hit, and the Phillies lead 3-0. Utley moves up to second on a wild pitch.

Update: Victorino walks to load the bases, and once again Chad Billingsley fails to complete the third inning. He puts more pressure on the bullpen and his offense.

Update: Chan Ho Park gets Feliz to ground out to end the inning. Isn't this the point where the Dodgers bring in Greg Maddux and the grizzled veteran pitches one last great game to keep hope alive?

Update: The Dodgers go down 1-2-3 in the third. Hamels now has thrown over twice as many strikes as balls.
