Giants Vs. Braves, NLDS Game 1: Derek Lowe Pitches Out Of Jam

While Tim Lincecum continues to breeze through the Braves, Derek Lowe faced the first real difficult jam of the game in the bottom of the third and came away roses. Cody Ross got things started with a walk, and he was sacrificed to second by a Lincecum bunt. Andres Torres then rolled a ball to Brooks Conrad at second base, but Conrad bobbled the easy play to put runners on the corners with one out.

This was a run-scoring situation for the top of the Giants lineup, but Freddy Sanchez hit a tapper back to the mound, and Aubrey Huff subsequently struck out swinging. After three, the tilt's still scoreless, and neither lineup appears to be getting great swings.
