The Resumption

Geoff Jenkins pinch hits for Cole Hamels to start the bottom of the sixth inning, two days after the game was suspended. Grant Balfour is on the mound and throws ball one.

Update: Jenkins works the count to 3-2, then launches a double to the wall in right-center. The Phillies have the go-ahead run in scoring position with the game tied at two.

Update: Rollins sacrifices the runner over to third. Now a fly ball or a wild pitch can plate a run.

Update: Werth pops it up into shallow centerfield, but the infield was in. Iwamura runs back to try to catch it, but drops it on the basket catch and the Phillies lead 3-2. J.P. Howell comes on to face the lefties Utley and Howard.

That play reminds me of the end of the 2001 World Series, with Luis Gonzalez hitting what would normally be an out over a drawn in infield.

Update: Howell strikes out Utley, now faces Howard.

Update: Werth steals second on a pick off, but Ryan Howard pops out to end the inning. The Phillies take a 3-2 lead thanks to a drawn in infield. The best laid plans...

Is Hamels still in line for the win?
