Another Error
Sonnanstine falls behind Utley 3-1, but gets him to hit a grounder to a shifted Iwamura. Akinori, however, takes his eye off the ball and it hits above his glove for an error.
Ryan Howard follows with a liner to right for a single that puts runners at first and third with none out. Here's another chance for the Phillies to bust the game open.
Update: Burrell pops out to shortstop. One down.
Update: Victorino pops out to shortstop, also. Two down. Just by chance they should get a hit in one of these situations.
Update: There it is. Feliz lines a 1-1 pitch into leftfield and the Phillies lead 2-0. They have men on 1st and 2nd with two out.
Update: Ruiz grounds the ball up the middle. Iwamura smothers it, loading the bases. Ruiz is now 5 for 10 in the World Series.
Blanton pops out in foul territory to end the inning. The Phillies lead 2-0, but once again they had a chance to score many more runs.
