The first three Dodgers single in the bottom of the eighth, cutting the Phillies lead to 8-5. This team is relentless. Dodgers have men on 1st and 2nd with no one out. Could we see Lidge in the 8th?

Update: Madson get Pierre to ground back to the box, and they get a force at second. The Dodgers have first and third with one out. A home run ties the game.

Update: Furcal hits a sacrifice fly to make it 8-6. With two out it’s up to Ethier to keep the inning going.

Update: Ethier singles to put runners on first and third for Manny. That’s three hits for Ethier.

Update: Manny grounds out to third, and Phillies dodge another bullet. Their pen is bending, but not breaking tonight.
