After uneventful 3rd inning, it’s still 1-1 in the 4th

With both starters settling down some, Game 2 of the NLCS is still tied 1-1 after three innings.

In the bottom of the third, Pablo Sandoval drove a hot grounder down the first-base line for a two-out single -- Carlos Beltran played the carom perfectly -- but the inning ended when Buster Posey hit a sharp grounder to Pete Kozma, who flipped to Daniel Descalso for the easy fielder's choice.

Neither Chris Carpenter nor Ryan Vogelsong has been economical with his pitches, but Carpenter's in better shape through the first three frames. While he's thrown 47 pitches, Vogelsong's already thrown 58, and will be hard-pressed to turn in the Giants' first Quality Start of this postseason.
