It was the first postseason grand slam by a shortstop in major league history. (Justin K. Aller/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, Thursday:\u003c/strong> The Bay Area now knows the official colors for October baseball in these parts: Orange and Black. (We're still aching about the Green and Gold; we'll get over it by, say, next February.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyway, the official Bay Area color scheme is in order because of the San Francisco Giants' 8-0 thumping of the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night. The Giants will start their best-of-five National League Division Series on the road Friday afternoon against the Washington Nationals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Giants, whose roster includes veterans of the team's World Series victories in 2010 and 2012, rode a dominant performance by left-handed ace Madison Bumgarner and a display of clutch hitting up and down the lineup. Brandon Crawford hit a grand slam in the fourth inning -- the first postseason grand slam by a shortstop in major league history -- to give the Giants a 4-0 lead and silence what had been a raucous Pittsburgh crowd. First baseman Brandon Belt added three RBIs and catcher Buster Posey drove in one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday's game in Washington starts at noon PDT.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 12:05 a.m. Wednesday:\u003c/strong> Well, let's look at this from a Kansas City fan's point of view for a second: Can you believe the way the Royals, playing their first postseason game since the Reagan administration, kept coming back and coming back? First in the seesaw early innings. Then, down by 7-3 in the bottom of the 8th, facing the A's specially acquired postseason stopper, Jon Lester, they launched a rally that brought them back to 7-6. They tied the game in the bottom of the 9th, against the A's once-indomitable closer, Sean Doolittle. Then after the A's seized the lead once again, 8-7 in the top of the 12th, the Royals staged one last surge for \u003ca href=\"http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2014_09_30_oakmlb_kcamlb_1&mode=box\" target=\"_blank\">a walk-off 9-8 win\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"mzOs1MPsCUR3TiLZzXps9qfJfZCqz0AA\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And from an Oakland fan's perspective? Well, wow again. I mean, it's not exactly like the idea of an A's defeat is a shock. The team has spent the better part of the last couple of months losing, and by Tuesday their partisans were good and used to it. They might have hoped for the best, but they'd seen too much to expect it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to lose the way that they did? After two homers and five RBIs from the reawakened Brandon Moss? With six outs to go, up four runs, Lester on the mound? Failing to hold the lead, twice, when they had pushed Kansas City to the brink? Yeah, tip your hat to the the Royals for showing real heart. But for the Athletics and their faithful, that was a savagely soul-wrenching way to go down. It's a game to be filed in the catalog of A's playoff memories right alongside the immortal \"Slide, Jeremy, Slide\" game (2001) and the Great Verlander Shutdowns of 2012 and 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, there is one community of Bay Area baseball fans -- talking to you, Giants Nation, or whatever you call yourselves -- who are unaffected by Tuesday evening's diamond tragedy. The Giants take the field in Pittsburgh for their wild-card game against the Pirates at 5 p.m. PDT Wednesday. If you're in the city, the team is\u003ca title=\"http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/sf/fan_forum/ps_rally.jsp\" href=\"http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/sf/fan_forum/ps_rally.jsp\" target=\"_blank\"> staging a party at AT&T Park starting at 4 p.m.\u003c/a> followed by a free viewing of the game in the stadium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post (3:30 p.m. Tuesday):\u003c/strong> Brace yourselves, Giants and A's fans -- your fifth-place teams are about to get a chance for baseball immortality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, the Oakland Athletics, the fifth-place team in the American League, are at Kansas City this evening for their wild-card playoff game against the Royals. Wednesday, the fifth-place San Francisco Giants take on the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League wild-card game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prize for each team, should they win their games: a chance to move on to the best-of-five division series in each league. For the A's, beating the Royals would mean a series against the AL West champion Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. For the Giants, a victory in Pittsburgh will send them to Washington, D.C., to face the Nationals. And if they win \u003cem>those\u003c/em> matchups, what possibly could prevent a Bay Bridge series?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But let's not get ahead of ourselves, OK?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The big question for Oakland and its fans is what A's team will take the field at Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium. Yes, ace lefthander Jon Lester, the big-game pitcher acquired from the Boston Red Sox at the end of July, will start against the Royals. And yes, Lester seems like a good bet to do his part and keep the A's in the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the rest of the team? That's another matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the A's sent power-hitting outfielder Yoenis Cespedes to Boston in exchange for Lester, they had the best record in baseball. They reached their highwater mark Aug. 9, when they beat the Minnesota Twins 9-4 at the Coliseum, bringing their record to 72-44. They were still in first place by four games over the Angels, still acclaimed by many as the best team in the majors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then they began to lose. And lose. And lose. In their final 46 games, the A's won 16 and lost 30. A team that most had seen as a lock to make the playoffs struggled, stumbled and staggered in the season's final weeks, failing to clinch the American League's second wild-card spot until the final game of the season against the AL West cellar-dwellers, the Texas Rangers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sooner or later, someone will come up with the equation-driven sabermetrical explanation for what happened to the A's. The leading theory among fans and the more algebra-challenged among us is that there's no simple explanation. But we're sure that some or all of the following played a part: the loss of Cespedes' presence in the lineup; injuries to some key players, including shortstop Jed Lowrie and catcher-DH John Jaso; the prolonged hyperslump of outfielder-first baseman Brandon Moss; the evaporation of some vital but indefinable team chemistry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Go ahead and add your theory here, or check out a couple of excellent analyses: from Grantland: A Clockwork Oakland: \u003ca href=\"http://grantland.com/the-triangle/oakland-athletics-slump-al-west-race-yoenis-cespedes-factor/\" target=\"_blank\">What the Heck Happened to the Once Great A's?\u003c/a> And, from Wendy Thurm on Medium: \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/the-cauldron/what-has-happened-to-the-oakland-as-b44d56bfcefe\" target=\"_blank\">It Wasn't Supposed to be Like This for the A's\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rightly or wrongly, the outcome of tonight's game will be something of a referendum on the Lester trade, says Rick Tittle, who hosts the A's pre- and postgame shows on 95.7-The Game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Lester goes out there tonight and doesn't get it done, if he has an off night as anyone can, then people will say the trade was a failure.

It keeps the season alive for so many fans, and it makes every single game meaningful. You can ask people in Seattle or Milwaukee or Cleveland, whose teams got eliminated in the last few days, if they'd like to have a game or two they lost in April or May back again. Fans will say it isn't fair, after 162 games in the regular season, to have everything come down to one game, but I have zero sympathy for any team that didn't win their division.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many fans will gather to watch Tuesday night's game at the \u003ca href=\"http://thenewparkway.com/wp/\" target=\"_blank\">New Parkway Theater\u003c/a> in Oakland (sold out, but check to see if they've added a second theater) or at sports bars like \u003ca href=\"http://www.rickys.com\" target=\"_blank\">Ricky's\u003c/a> in San Leandro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Giants are hosting \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/sf/fan_forum/ps_rally.jsp\" target=\"_blank\">a wild-card party at AT&T Park at 4 p.m. Wednesday\u003c/a>.

The Giants will start their best-of-five National League Division Series on the road Friday afternoon against the Washington Nationals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Giants, whose roster includes veterans of the team's World Series victories in 2010 and 2012, rode a dominant performance by left-handed ace Madison Bumgarner and a display of clutch hitting up and down the lineup. Brandon Crawford hit a grand slam in the fourth inning -- the first postseason grand slam by a shortstop in major league history -- to give the Giants a 4-0 lead and silence what had been a raucous Pittsburgh crowd. First baseman Brandon Belt added three RBIs and catcher Buster Posey drove in one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday's game in Washington starts at noon PDT.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 12:05 a.m. Wednesday:\u003c/strong> Well, let's look at this from a Kansas City fan's point of view for a second: Can you believe the way the Royals, playing their first postseason game since the Reagan administration, kept coming back and coming back? First in the seesaw early innings. Then, down by 7-3 in the bottom of the 8th, facing the A's specially acquired postseason stopper, Jon Lester, they launched a rally that brought them back to 7-6. They tied the game in the bottom of the 9th, against the A's once-indomitable closer, Sean Doolittle. Then after the A's seized the lead once again, 8-7 in the top of the 12th, the Royals staged one last surge for \u003ca href=\"http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2014_09_30_oakmlb_kcamlb_1&mode=box\" target=\"_blank\">a walk-off 9-8 win\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And from an Oakland fan's perspective? Well, wow again. I mean, it's not exactly like the idea of an A's defeat is a shock. The team has spent the better part of the last couple of months losing, and by Tuesday their partisans were good and used to it. They might have hoped for the best, but they'd seen too much to expect it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to lose the way that they did? After two homers and five RBIs from the reawakened Brandon Moss? With six outs to go, up four runs, Lester on the mound? Failing to hold the lead, twice, when they had pushed Kansas City to the brink? Yeah, tip your hat to the the Royals for showing real heart. But for the Athletics and their faithful, that was a savagely soul-wrenching way to go down. It's a game to be filed in the catalog of A's playoff memories right alongside the immortal \"Slide, Jeremy, Slide\" game (2001) and the Great Verlander Shutdowns of 2012 and 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, there is one community of Bay Area baseball fans -- talking to you, Giants Nation, or whatever you call yourselves -- who are unaffected by Tuesday evening's diamond tragedy. The Giants take the field in Pittsburgh for their wild-card game against the Pirates at 5 p.m. PDT Wednesday. If you're in the city, the team is\u003ca title=\"http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/sf/fan_forum/ps_rally.jsp\" href=\"http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/sf/fan_forum/ps_rally.jsp\" target=\"_blank\"> staging a party at AT&T Park starting at 4 p.m.\u003c/a> followed by a free viewing of the game in the stadium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post (3:30 p.m. Tuesday):\u003c/strong> Brace yourselves, Giants and A's fans -- your fifth-place teams are about to get a chance for baseball immortality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, the Oakland Athletics, the fifth-place team in the American League, are at Kansas City this evening for their wild-card playoff game against the Royals. Wednesday, the fifth-place San Francisco Giants take on the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League wild-card game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prize for each team, should they win their games: a chance to move on to the best-of-five division series in each league. For the A's, beating the Royals would mean a series against the AL West champion Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. For the Giants, a victory in Pittsburgh will send them to Washington, D.C., to face the Nationals. And if they win \u003cem>those\u003c/em> matchups, what possibly could prevent a Bay Bridge series?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But let's not get ahead of ourselves, OK?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The big question for Oakland and its fans is what A's team will take the field at Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium. Yes, ace lefthander Jon Lester, the big-game pitcher acquired from the Boston Red Sox at the end of July, will start against the Royals. And yes, Lester seems like a good bet to do his part and keep the A's in the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the rest of the team? That's another matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the A's sent power-hitting outfielder Yoenis Cespedes to Boston in exchange for Lester, they had the best record in baseball. They reached their highwater mark Aug. 9, when they beat the Minnesota Twins 9-4 at the Coliseum, bringing their record to 72-44. They were still in first place by four games over the Angels, still acclaimed by many as the best team in the majors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then they began to lose. And lose. And lose. In their final 46 games, the A's won 16 and lost 30. A team that most had seen as a lock to make the playoffs struggled, stumbled and staggered in the season's final weeks, failing to clinch the American League's second wild-card spot until the final game of the season against the AL West cellar-dwellers, the Texas Rangers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sooner or later, someone will come up with the equation-driven sabermetrical explanation for what happened to the A's.

Neither team can pull away, with goaltending and special teams largely deciding each matchup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the series has been tight throughout, it hasn't been disproportionately dramatic. The team scoring the first goal has won every game of the series, and only one major comeback has been made: Los Angeles scored two power-play goals in the final minutes to steal Game 2 after blowing an early two-goal lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sharks forced Game 7 by winning three of the series' past four games, all by a 2-1 margin. While the Kings can rely on their championship pedigree, San Jose has momentum and plenty of veteran experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's definitely a stressful situation, but it's the most fun I've had playing hockey,\" said Sharks defenseman Dan Boyle, who has won a Game 7 three times in his career, including a Stanley Cup win with Tampa Bay in 2004.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've got to do it three times now.

The team that can control (emotions) the most, and it sounds easier than it is, usually that's the team that has success.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Kings have home-ice advantage in a playoff series for the first time in 21 years against the Sharks, who have made the playoffs 14 times in the past 15 seasons.

They lost just four times in regulation during the regular season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the Kings' top players will be in their first Game 7 in the NHL — including Kopitar, Brown and goalie Jonathan Quick — although most have played in similarly crucial games in junior hockey and international competition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The worst thing going into a Game 7 is being uptight and stressed about it,\" Brown said. \"You should be excited to play in a game like tomorrow night.

This marked the second time the A's erased a two-run deficit in the ninth inning to win a postseason game, the other coming in Game 5 of the 1929 World Series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's amazing,\" Crisp said. \"The guys in front of me obviously did a fantastic job of getting on base. ...

He allowed just one baserunner in the first four innings and struck out seven of the first 15 batters before running into his first trouble in the fifth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith worked a two-out walk and went to third on Derek Norris' opposite-field blooper down the right-field line. But Scherzer responded by getting Cliff Pennington to chase an offspeed pitch in the dirt for his eighth strikeout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A's finally got to Scherzer for an unearned run in the sixth. Crisp reached when Fielder misplayed a hard grounder to first base into a two-base error. Crisp advanced on a wild pitch and scored on Stephen Drew's double to right-center. But the A's ran themselves out of a potential big inning when third-base coach Mike Gallego waved Drew around to third, where he was easily caught on the relay for the first out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Octavio Dotel and Phil Coke both retired a batter to get out of the sixth and Al Alburquerque pitched a perfect seventh in his first appearance since his memorable kiss of the baseball on a comebacker by Yoenis Cespedes in Game 2.

Those paled in comparison to No. 15, which set up a win-or-go-home Game 5 against Justin Verlander and the Tigers.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reddick led off the ninth with a single just under the glove of diving second baseman Omar Infante. Josh Donaldson followed with a double off the wall in left-center and both runners scored on Smith's double.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a confidence,\" manager Bob Melvin said. \"We've done it so many times so there's always going to be that confidence until we make that last out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two outs later, Crisp lined a single and Smith scored easily when right fielder Avisail Garcia couldn't handle the ball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That set off a raucous celebration near first base as the A's poured out of the dugout to mob Crisp, who was the recipient of a whipped cream pie that became a regular occurrence in this remarkable season in Oakland. This marked the second time the A's erased a two-run deficit in the ninth inning to win a postseason game, the other coming in Game 5 of the 1929 World Series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's amazing,\" Crisp said. \"The guys in front of me obviously did a fantastic job of getting on base. ... This club, we've been battling the whole year, giving 100 percent, and these walkoffs have been our MO this year.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ryan Cook retired four batters for the win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A's, who have the lowest payroll in baseball, need just one more surprising result to win their second postseason series since 1990. Rookie Jarrod Parker will take the mound in Game 5 on Thursday night against Verlander, the reigning AL Cy Young winner and MVP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's why this is the greatest game of all,\" Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. \"It looked like we were going to get it. We didn't do it. We didn't quite get the 27 outs, that's part of the game. You get tested all the time in this game. And this is a good test.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tigers looked to be in prime position to advance to their second straight ALCS and have a rested Verlander for Game 1 when they took a 3-1 lead into the ninth behind a strong start from Max Scherzer and a homer from Prince Fielder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the A's are one win away from repeating last week's three-game sweep of Texas that gave them the AL West title on the final day of the regular season. After losing the first two games in Detroit, the A's won 2-0 in Game 3 and are looking to become the eighth team to rally from two games down to win a best-of-five series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Giants will have a shot to do it as well earlier Thursday when they face Cincinnati in Game 5 of their NL division series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scherzer, who was dealing with shoulder, deltoid and ankle injuries late in the season, looked in top form against the A's. He allowed just one baserunner in the first four innings and struck out seven of the first 15 batters before running into his first trouble in the fifth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith worked a two-out walk and went to third on Derek Norris' opposite-field blooper down the right-field line. But Scherzer responded by getting Cliff Pennington to chase an offspeed pitch in the dirt for his eighth strikeout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A's finally got to Scherzer for an unearned run in the sixth. Crisp reached when Fielder misplayed a hard grounder to first base into a two-base error. Crisp advanced on a wild pitch and scored on Stephen Drew's double to right-center. But the A's ran themselves out of a potential big inning when third-base coach Mike Gallego waved Drew around to third, where he was easily caught on the relay for the first out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Octavio Dotel and Phil Coke both retired a batter to get out of the sixth and Al Alburquerque pitched a perfect seventh in his first appearance since his memorable kiss of the baseball on a comebacker by Yoenis Cespedes in Game 2. Joaquin Benoit escaped a first-and-second jam in the eighth by striking out Brandon Moss, but Valverde couldn't close it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is the toughest moment in my whole career,\" Valverde said. \"I had everything. These guys hit it. There's nothing I can do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NOTES: This is the seventh postseason walkoff win for the A's in franchise history and first since Ramon Hernandez won it with a squeeze bunt in the 2003 division series against Boston. ... A.J. Griffin allowed two runs in 5-plus innings. He was the third Oakland rookie pitcher to start a game this series, the most ever by a team in a single postseason. The A's used just two rookie starting pitchers in 147 postseason games before this year:: Joe Bush in the 1913 World Series and Barry Zito in the 2000 division series. ... Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera has not driven in a run in the series. ... Reddick has struck out eight times in the four games, setting an Oakland record for most in a postseason series.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/78031/as-rally-past-tigers-4-3-to-force-game-5","authors":["237"],"programs":["news_6944"],"categories":["news_10"],"tags":["news_3304","news_18","news_161","news_105","news_1999"],"label":"news_6944"},"news_2565":{"type":"posts","id":"news_2565","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"2565","score":null,"sort":[1287878330000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"giants-phillies-game-6-live-blog","title":"Game 6: Giants 3, Phillies 2","publishDate":1287878330,"format":"aside","headTitle":"News Fix | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":6944,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:39 p.m.: Final: Giants 3, Phillies 2.

He takes a wicked cut at a high 2-1 fastball, and for some reason Tim McCarver says, \"He couldn't hold up.\" (Tim, that's because he was trying to hit it out of the park).

There's the first one: pinch hitter Ross Gload grounds to second base. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:20 p.m. (top 9th): \u003c/strong>Brad Lidge takes the ball for the Phillies. Nate Schierholtz, batting in the ninth spot in the lineup, strikes out. Andres Torres lays down a beautiful bunt on the first-base side that no one can make a play on for a single. Freddy Sanchez singles to left, Torres to second. Huff comes to the plate and strikes a long foul drive into the rightfield stands that a fan makes a nice barehanded catch on. Huff strikes out, two down. Posey gets an intentional walk with reliever Brian Wilson on deck. The Fox guys note Wilson was 0 for 5 batting this season. Perfect spot to roll one through the right side. Well, he did hit it to the right side, bouncing out to Ryan Howard at first. \u003cstrong>Giants 3, Phillies 2. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:11 p.m. (bottom 8th):\u003c/strong> And Wilson gets out of it.

One out, man on first. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8:03 p.m.:\u003c/strong> The ever-creative Phillies fans are wolf-whistling at Lincecum again. It's good to know someplace in America still thinks long-hair on a guy is effeminate (I suggest they take it up with my man \u003ca href=\"http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/tripleh/\" target=\"_blank\">Triple H\u003c/a>). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8 p.m.: \u003c/strong>Tim Lincecum comes on in relief. Which will be just fine if he does what manager Bruce Bochy expects him to do. And Lincecum starts off by striking out Werth with a ridiculous breaking ball. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:57 p.m. (top 8th):\u003c/strong> Uribe's homer momentarily quiets the crowd. Renteria strikes out. \u003cstrong>Giants 3, Phillies 2. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:52 p.m. (top 8th):\u003c/strong> Madson still pitching for Philadelphia. Burrell grounds to short. Ross flies to medium deep left. And then--SHOCK!--Uribe hits it just over the rightfield barrier for a homer. \u003cstrong>Giants 3, Phillies 2.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:45 p.m. (bottom 7th): \u003c/strong>Javier Lopez relieves Bumgarner and flies to Cody Ross in right. Utley grounds to Lopez. Two out. Howard's up, and Lopez gets two quick strikes. Lopez is dealing. He goes to that ridiculous sweeping slider of his. Both are low and away. 2-2. Then he comes in with a fastball at the knees. Strikeout. To the eighth. \u003cstrong>Giants 2, Phillies 2.\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:43 p.m. (bottom 7th): \u003c/strong>This game's been so interesting and intense that you almost forget what's at stake here. One of these teams is going to the World Series. One of them might do it tonight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:39 p.m.: \u003c/strong>They're singing \"God Bless America.\" It always make me think of \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=113733752\" target=\"_blank\">The Firesign Theatre\u003c/a>'s \"God Bless Vespucciland.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:37 p.m. (top 7th): \u003c/strong>But he doesn't. Posey grounds to Utley at second, who tosses to Rollins to force Huff.

Then Freddy Sanchez doubles into the leftfield corner. Huff to the plate, and Madson walks him intentionally. That brings up Buster Posey (who's booed when he's announced). Tim McCarver says on Fox the walk's \"a good move. It makes sense.\" Which makes me hope that Posey goes yard. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:27 p.m. (top 7th): \u003c/strong>Ryan Madson on the mound for the Phillies, and Travis Ishikawa pinch-hits for the Giants. Ishikawa gives Madson a battle before taking a called third strike (on a pitch that the Fox pitch-chart thing says was outside by plenty). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:24 p.m.: \u003c/strong>Ibañez, who's done nearly nothing this series, doubles over Uribe's head and into the leftfield corner. Ruiz bunts him to third. (Why? Why bunt? Why throw away an out with a runner already in scoring position? Honestly.) Then pinch-hitter Ben Francisco strikes out (Oswalt's done for the night) and Jimmy Rollins flies to left-center for out number three. \u003cstrong>Giants 2, Phillies 2.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7:18 p.m.: Foreign substances: Pat Burrell has a big wad of chewing tobacco in his cheek. Tim Lincecum chews, too. If you like these guys, why not write them a letter and tell to stop doing something so dangerously stupid. Former major leaguer and broadcaster Joe Garagiola has turned this into a cause: \"\u003ca href=\"http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1009897/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">He's Spitting Mad\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:15 p.m. (top 6th): \u003c/strong>Oswalt fees Renteria one low curve after another and gets ahead. When Oswalt finally throws a fastball it runs in on Renteria, who offers weakly and fouls it off. But he says \"s__t!\" and tries to convince the umpire he was hit. The ump ain't buying it. Too bad, because Renteria winds up grounding to Utley at second, who turns a nice 4-3 double play, and that threat is done with. \u003cstrong>Giants 2, Phillies 2. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:07 p.m. (top 6th):\u003c/strong> Ross doubles off the wall down the leftfield line. That's the Giants ninth hit. Then Oswalt hits Uribe with a fastball that runs way inside. Men on first and second, one out. The Giants threaten yet again. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:05 p.m. (top 6th):\u003c/strong> Pat Burrell has one of those at-bats that really make a pitcher work. Fouled off some nice pitches with two strikes and eventually worked a full count. But Oswalt gets him swinging on a breaking ball at his ankles. One out. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7 p.m.: \u003c/strong>Your blogger started the game working on a cup of coffee. He's now digging into a bowl of popcorn accompanied by a beer. Thirsty work, this. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:58 p.m. (bottom 5th):\u003c/strong> Victorino bounces it right back to Bumgarner, who throws a very deliberate strike to Huff at first. Side retired. \u003cstrong>Giants 2, Phillies 2. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:56 p.m. (bottom 5th):\u003c/strong> Madison Bumgarner, all of 21 years old, on the mound for the Giants. Jimmy Rollins greets him with a single to right. Polanco pops to short left. Utley flies to medium deep left center. Ryan Howard hits a shot into much deeper left center for a double. Rollins is held at third. Werth gets an intentional walk. Bases loaded for Victorino. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:45 p.m. (top 5th): P\u003c/strong>osey up with two out. Two called strikes on a fast ball and curve. Oswalt comes straight at him with two more fastballs that Posey fouls off. Low outside breaking ball. Fastball--foul ball. Fastball--inside for ball two. Looks like absolutely everyone in the ballpark is twirling those white towels as Oswalt goes into the stretch. A high fastball. Posey swings and misses. Strike three, and on to the bottom of the 5th. \u003cstrong>Giants 2, Phillies 2. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:40 p.m. (top 5th):\u003c/strong> Torres strikes out after the booing dies down. Freddy Sanchez singles to center, Fontenot to second. Oswalt goes to a full count on Huff, who fouls out to Polanco at third.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:35 p.m. (top 5th):\u003c/strong> Mike Fontenot pinch-hits for Affeldt and singles to right. Then we get another occasion for the Phillies' fans to exercise their talent for booing when Andres Torres fouls a bunt attempt. The ball hits him, and Oswalt argues Torres was out of the batter's box and should be called out. Replay shows the plate umpire got it right--Torres was still in the batter's box. Boo! Boo!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:30 p.m. (bottom 4th): \u003c/strong>Affeldt gets a three-up, three-down 4th: Ibañez grounds to short, Ruiz strikes out, Oswalt bloops to right. \u003cstrong>Giants 2, Phillies 2. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:20 p.m. (top 4th):\u003c/strong> Burrell pops the ball foul in no-man's land down the right-field line. Howard chases it from first and Werth from right. It's Werth's ball--he makes a beautiful sliding catch as he runs out of room and skids into the wall. Great play. Uribe fouls out in more conventional fashion to 3rd. Then Renteria flies to short right. Easy inning for Oswalt. \u003cstrong>Giants 2, Phillies 2. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:16 p.m.\u003c/strong> The first three innings took one hour and 18 minutes to complete. Wow. We were looking at a cool ad that that \u003ca href=\"http://www.anchorbrewing.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Anchor Brewing\u003c/a> ran in the San Francisco Chronicle this morning. It alluded to an old-time pitching legend for the San Francisco team in the old Pacific Coast League, \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=henley001cla\" target=\"_blank\">>Clarence T. \"Cack\" Henley\u003c/a>. One of Henley's many amazing mound feats was a 24-inning shutout--a game that took three and a half hours to complete. The times they sure have changed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:15 p.m. (bottom 3rd):\u003c/strong> Affeldt fans Ryan Howard for the first out. He gets Jayson Werth to fly to right. Two out. Victorino grounds to first. Affeldt stops the bleeding. \u003cstrong>Giants 2, Phillies 2.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:05 p.m.: \u003c/strong>The delay due to the unscheduled bench-clearing recreation works to the Giants' advantage; it gives reliever Jeremy Affeldt more time to warm up, and now he's coming into the game. So much for my pregame thinking that Sanchez would be the stopper this game. He leaves after just two innings in the books and responsible for the two runners on base. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:01 p.m. (bottom 3rd):\u003c/strong> He responds by throwing three consecutive balls to Polanco, then walking him on 3-1. Not good. Then he gets behind Utley and hits him. Here we go: Sanchez thinks Utley showed him up by tossing him the ball back, they start jawing, and both benches empty. No brawl though--just a bunch of guys in funny pants stretching their legs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5:52 p.m. (top 3rd):\u003c/strong> Burrell skies the ball to left for the third out. But it's a new game. Let's see how Sanchez responds. \u003cstrong>Giants 2, Phillies 2. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5:50 p.m. (top 3rd): \u003c/strong>Crazy inning! Posey rolls a ball to the third-base side of the mound; Polanco grabs it barehanded and fires to first in time. But Posey runs into first baseman Ryan Howard's glove and the ball rolls away, and Aubrey Huff scores from second with no play. \u003cstrong>Giants 2, Phillies 2. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5:45 p.m. (top 3rd):\u003c/strong> Jonathan Sanchez has his turn at bat and hits it hard up the middle for a single. Here comes Andres Torres again, and this time he looks like he's taken that big metal necklace off. He hits a blast to dead center, where the Phils' Shane Victorino just misses making a beautiful over the shoulder catch. Since Sanchez held up, it winds up as a 400-plus foot single. Runners on first and second for Freddy Sanchez, who sacrifices them to second and third. Huff follows with a single up the middle--Oswalt suddenly looks very hittable--J. Sanchez scores, but Victorino cuts down Torres with a perfect thrown to the plate. \u003cstrong>Phillies 2, Giants 1. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5:42 p.m. (bottom 2nd): \u003c/strong>Sanchez falls behind Carlos Ruiz 2-0 before evening the count then getting him to ground to short. Oswalt grounds to second. Sanchez tarts off Rollins with two strikes, throws three ball, then gets Rollins on a swinging strike three. That's a one-two-three inning that was harder than it looked. \u003cstrong>Phillies 2, Giants 0.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5:32: p.m. (top 2nd):\u003c/strong> Pat Burrell opens with an infield single to short. Cody Ross hits the ball hard to Polanco at third who field the ball on a high hop and starts and around-the-horn double play. Juan Uribe floats a soft liner to right for a single.

Huff strikes out, two down. Posey gets an intentional walk with reliever Brian Wilson on deck. The Fox guys note Wilson was 0 for 5 batting this season.

Ishikawa gives Madson a battle before taking a called third strike (on a pitch that the Fox pitch-chart thing says was outside by plenty). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:24 p.m.: \u003c/strong>Ibañez, who's done nearly nothing this series, doubles over Uribe's head and into the leftfield corner. Ruiz bunts him to third. (Why? Why bunt? Why throw away an out with a runner already in scoring position? Honestly.) Then pinch-hitter Ben Francisco strikes out (Oswalt's done for the night) and Jimmy Rollins flies to left-center for out number three. \u003cstrong>Giants 2, Phillies 2.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7:18 p.m.: Foreign substances: Pat Burrell has a big wad of chewing tobacco in his cheek. Tim Lincecum chews, too. If you like these guys, why not write them a letter and tell to stop doing something so dangerously stupid.

When Oswalt finally throws a fastball it runs in on Renteria, who offers weakly and fouls it off. But he says \"s__t!\" and tries to convince the umpire he was hit. The ump ain't buying it. Too bad, because Renteria winds up grounding to Utley at second, who turns a nice 4-3 double play, and that threat is done with. \u003cstrong>Giants 2, Phillies 2. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:07 p.m. (top 6th):\u003c/strong> Ross doubles off the wall down the leftfield line.

The Giants threaten yet again. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:05 p.m. (top 6th):\u003c/strong> Pat Burrell has one of those at-bats that really make a pitcher work.

One out. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7 p.m.: \u003c/strong>Your blogger started the game working on a cup of coffee. He's now digging into a bowl of popcorn accompanied by a beer.

Jimmy Rollins greets him with a single to right. Polanco pops to short left. Utley flies to medium deep left center. Ryan Howard hits a shot into much deeper left center for a double. Rollins is held at third. Werth gets an intentional walk. Bases loaded for Victorino. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:45 p.m. (top 5th): P\u003c/strong>osey up with two out. Two called strikes on a fast ball and curve. Oswalt comes straight at him with two more fastballs that Posey fouls off. Low outside breaking ball. Fastball--foul ball. Fastball--inside for ball two. Looks like absolutely everyone in the ballpark is twirling those white towels as Oswalt goes into the stretch. A high fastball. Posey swings and misses. Strike three, and on to the bottom of the 5th. \u003cstrong>Giants 2, Phillies 2. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:40 p.m. (top 5th):\u003c/strong> Torres strikes out after the booing dies down.

Then we get another occasion for the Phillies' fans to exercise their talent for booing when Andres Torres fouls a bunt attempt. The ball hits him, and Oswalt argues Torres was out of the batter's box and should be called out. Replay shows the plate umpire got it right--Torres was still in the batter's box. Boo! Boo!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:30 p.m. (bottom 4th): \u003c/strong>Affeldt gets a three-up, three-down 4th: Ibañez grounds to short, Ruiz strikes out, Oswalt bloops to right. \u003cstrong>Giants 2, Phillies 2. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:20 p.m. (top 4th):\u003c/strong> Burrell pops the ball foul in no-man's land down the right-field line. Howard chases it from first and Werth from right. It's Werth's ball--he makes a beautiful sliding catch as he runs out of room and skids into the wall. Great play. Uribe fouls out in more conventional fashion to 3rd. Then Renteria flies to short right. Easy inning for Oswalt. \u003cstrong>Giants 2, Phillies 2. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:16 p.m.\u003c/strong> The first three innings took one hour and 18 minutes to complete. Wow. We were looking at a cool ad that that \u003ca href=\"http://www.anchorbrewing.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Anchor Brewing\u003c/a> ran in the San Francisco Chronicle this morning. It alluded to an old-time pitching legend for the San Francisco team in the old Pacific Coast League, \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=henley001cla\" target=\"_blank\">>Clarence T. \"Cack\" Henley\u003c/a>. One of Henley's many amazing mound feats was a 24-inning shutout--a game that took three and a half hours to complete. The times they sure have changed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:15 p.m. (bottom 3rd):\u003c/strong> Affeldt fans Ryan Howard for the first out. He gets Jayson Werth to fly to right. Two out. Victorino grounds to first. Affeldt stops the bleeding. \u003cstrong>Giants 2, Phillies 2.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:05 p.m.: \u003c/strong>The delay due to the unscheduled bench-clearing recreation works to the Giants' advantage; it gives reliever Jeremy Affeldt more time to warm up, and now he's coming into the game. So much for my pregame thinking that Sanchez would be the stopper this game. He leaves after just two innings in the books and responsible for the two runners on base. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6:01 p.m. (bottom 3rd):\u003c/strong> He responds by throwing three consecutive balls to Polanco, then walking him on 3-1. Not good. Then he gets behind Utley and hits him. Here we go: Sanchez thinks Utley showed him up by tossing him the ball back, they start jawing, and both benches empty. No brawl though--just a bunch of guys in funny pants stretching their legs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5:52 p.m. (top 3rd):\u003c/strong> Burrell skies the ball to left for the third out. But it's a new game. Let's see how Sanchez responds. \u003cstrong>Giants 2, Phillies 2. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5:50 p.m. (top 3rd): \u003c/strong>Crazy inning! Posey rolls a ball to the third-base side of the mound; Polanco grabs it barehanded and fires to first in time. But Posey runs into first baseman Ryan Howard's glove and the ball rolls away, and Aubrey Huff scores from second with no play. \u003cstrong>Giants 2, Phillies 2. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5:45 p.m. (top 3rd):\u003c/strong> Jonathan Sanchez has his turn at bat and hits it hard up the middle for a single. Here comes Andres Torres again, and this time he looks like he's taken that big metal necklace off. He hits a blast to dead center, where the Phils' Shane Victorino just misses making a beautiful over the shoulder catch. Since Sanchez held up, it winds up as a 400-plus foot single. Runners on first and second for Freddy Sanchez, who sacrifices them to second and third. Huff follows with a single up the middle--Oswalt suddenly looks very hittable--J. Sanchez scores, but Victorino cuts down Torres with a perfect thrown to the plate. \u003cstrong>Phillies 2, Giants 1. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5:42 p.m. (bottom 2nd): \u003c/strong>Sanchez falls behind Carlos Ruiz 2-0 before evening the count then getting him to ground to short. Oswalt grounds to second. Sanchez tarts off Rollins with two strikes, throws three ball, then gets Rollins on a swinging strike three. That's a one-two-three inning that was harder than it looked. \u003cstrong>Phillies 2, Giants 0.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5:32: p.m. (top 2nd):\u003c/strong> Pat Burrell opens with an infield single to short.

The Giants Cody Ross, hitting eighth, went long on Halladay in consecutive at-bats. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>*ESB also notes that the Giants have played in seven straight playoff games decided by one run. To quote the bureau: \"That ties the major-league record for consecutive postseason games decided by one run, a mark they share with the Red Sox (1915-1916), Phillies (spanning 1915 to 1950) and Athletics (1972).\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>*It's natural to assume that winning the first game of the series, and doing it on the road, makes the Giants favorites to take the seven-game series with the Phils.
