The Phillies added an insurance run in the seventh against Ramon Ramirez when Placido Polanco laced an RBI single to center, but they weren't done - not by a long shot.
Giants Vs. Phillies, NLCS Game 2: Jimmy Rollins Bases-Loaded Double Adds Three More
With two on and one out, Jeremy Affeldt struck out Ryan Howard before intentionally walking Jayson Werth to load the bases. Bruce Bochy then called on Santiago Casilla to pitch to Jimmy Rollins and try to get the Giants out of the mess, but Casilla instead fell behind Rollins 2-0 and threw a low fastball that Rollins drilled off the right-center wall. All three baserunners scored, and Rollins jogged into second base having turned a nail-biter into a 6-1 almost-blowout.
We're off to the eighth, now, and Roy Oswalt's job has become a lot easier.
Pablo Sandoval is in the game now, and Mike Fontenot is out, as Casilla was inserted as part of a double-switch.
