Giants Vs. Phillies, NLCS Game 2: Placido Polanco Drives Home Shane Victorino, Restores Lead

Cody Ross may have come up big yet again to give the Giants a tie in the top of the fifth, but the score didn't stay that way for long.

Shane Victorino led off the bottom half with a groundball double down the line into left field. He advanced to third on a sac fly by Chase Utley, and scored on a sac fly by Placido Polanco. The Phillies have taken a 2-1 lead, and that's our score as we head to the sixth.

Jonathan Sanchez’s pitch count is up to 87, and he shouldn’t last much longer in this game. The Giants bullpen has been active.
