After a shaky third, Tim Lincecum came out and looked much better in the fourth. It took him 14 pitches to work a 1-2-3 inning, striking out Jimmy Rollins and then capping it off with a lineout and a groundout.
Phillies Vs. Giants, NLCS Game 5: Cody Ross Double Cuts Lead In Half
That took us to the bottom half, when the Giants were able to mount a miniature rally against Roy Halladay to cut the Phillies' lead in half. With one out, Pat Burrell jumped on an inside fastball and drilled it into left for a double. Two pitches later, Cody Ross fought off another inside fastball and sent this one to right, landing just inside the line. Ross' double brought Burrell home and put the tying run in scoring position.
Unfortunately for the Giants, that's where it would end. Pablo Sandoval flew out to right field, and when Ross tried to tag up from second, Jayson Werth made a perfect through to gun him down at third. Ross made the final out of the inning at third base even though Halladay isn't much of a wild pitch threat, and we're headed for the fifth inning with the score 3-2 Philadelphia.
