Giants Vs. Phillies, NLCS Game 2: Placido Polanco Drives In Big Insurance Run

Jonathan Sanchez departed with a man on first and nobody out. In came Ramon Ramirez, who had Shane Victorino bunt the runner - Roy Oswalt - to second base.

The Giants elected to intentionally walk Chase Utley so that Ramirez could face Placido Polanco, but Polanco went down and lined a low-away fastball into center field for a single. Though Andres Torres came up throwing, Oswalt was able to score all the way from second to double the Phillies' lead.

Jeremy Affeldt has come out of the San Francisco bullpen to relieve the ineffective Ramirez.
