Phillies Vs. Giants, NLCS Game 3: Grounder Off Chase Utley Brings In Third Run

While Matt Cain is busy shutting the Phillies down, the Giants are busy playing add-on. Already up 2-0 entering the bottom of the fifth, Aaron Rowand led off with a double to left, and three batters later, Freddy Sanchez chopped a grounder to second base. The grounder, though, took a funny hop right in front of Chase Utley and bounced off of and away from him.

The ball ended up in shallow center field, and Rowand came around to score to put the Giants up 3-0. That’s where we are, going into the sixth.
