Rays in the Eighth
Ryan Madson starts the eighth for the Phillies out of the bullpen.
Update: Upton reaches on a infield hit up the middle as Rollins double clutches trying to get the ball out of his glove. It would be a tough play anyway.
Update: Pena strikes out on a check swing. The ball was low, but Carlos could not stop in time. Upton takes second on the first pitch to Longoria.
Update: Upton steals a tie. On the next pitch he steals third and the throw hits him and bounces away. Upton scores and the game is tied at four.
Update: That's all the Rays get as Romero gets the last out. The Phillies are coming up with the score tied at four in the eighth.
That trip around the bases by Upton was one of the best base running moments I've seen in a World Series.
...and Jayson Werth decided he'd try it himself but didn't find it to be quite so easy...
