Breaking the 0 For
Jimmy Rollins breaks an 0-10 World Series streak with a single up the middle leading off the bottom of the first.
Update: Werth walks on a 3-2 pitch to put a runner in scoring position. Here's a chance for the Phillies to break their RISP slump.
Update: Navarro can't block a pitch in the dirt and runners are at 2nd and 3rd for Utley.
Update: Utley grounds out to first, driving in Rollins. I believe all the runs scored by the Phillies with runners in scoring position have come on outs. Howard is up with a man on third.
Update: Ryan Howard strikes out. That's five strikeouts in 10 WS at bats for Howard. Burrell flies out to end the inning. The Phillies go 0 for 3 with runners in scoring position, but they manage to drive one home and lead 1-0 after one inning.
