Roy Oswalt worked an easy fourth, and Jonathan Sanchez did the same to send a 1-0 game into the top of the fifth. It was then that the Giants got a boost from their favorite instant MVP.
Giants Vs. Phillies, NLCS Game 2: Cody Ross Home Run Ties Game 1-1
With one out and none on, Cody Ross stepped in against Oswalt, got ahead 1-0, and ripped a low inside fastball into the left field seats for a solo home run. It's Ross' fourth homer in three games, and it knots this game up.
It’s worth noting that Ross’ homer was also the Giants’ first hit of the evening. So you can shelve the no-hitter alarms for the rest of the night.
Oswalt worked through the rest of the frame and kept the score even at 1. His pitch count stands at a very reasonable 66, with 40 strikes.
