It's admirable to want to try to keep up with Tim Lincecum, but when you're Derek Lowe, you can only hope to do it for so long. Lowe didn't exactly cave in in the bottom of the fourth, but he got himself into a jam and wasn't able to pitch himself out of it without sustaining any scrapes. Buster Posey led off with a groundball single and stole second, and following a two-out intentional walk of Pablo Sandoval, Cody Ross pulled a grounder through the hole in left to score Posey for the first run of the game.

Lowe struck out three batters in the inning, and the two balls in play were rollers. So, in a way, Lowe did his job. But sometimes grounders get through, and now the Braves will have to play comeback.
