In an error-filled top of the third, the Giants managed to knot up Game 6 at two apiece. Pitcher Jonathan Sanchez led off the inning with a single. Andres Torres followed up with a rope to center field. Torres seemed to have been able to stretch it into a double, but Sanchez halted at second base. Torres, in fact, nearly ran right into the stationary Sanchez.

Freddy Sanchez then managed to sacrifice the runners to second and third, and a subsequent Aubrey Huff single sent Jonathan Sanchez home. Andres Torres, attempting to score from second, was thrown out at the plate.
The next at-bat saw another gaffe, this time from the Phillies’ Ryan Howard. Buster Posey was hit by the ball while running through first and declared safe, allowing Huff to score. Pat Burrell then flied out to end the inning.
