Phillies Vs. Padres: Ryan Howard’s 11th-Inning Drive Decisive

And the Padres did fare somewhat better Saturday night. After getting shut out in the first games of the series -- with Oswalt and Hamels combining for 14 shutout innings -- San Diego did touch Blanton for a couple of runs.

Stauffer went six innings, Blanton seven, and then the bullpens took over and pitched brilliantly. San Diego’s relievers were perfect from the seventh through 10th innings; Philadelphia’s were perfect from the eighth through the 10th.
