More baseball postseason action was played yesterday with two more great games. First was Game 3 of the NLCS as the Giants looked to get their one game lead back as they took on the Phillies at AT&T Park. Matt Cain looked to overpower the Phillies and to outlast Cole Hamels. He would accomplish both of those goals. Hamels would allow 3 runs in 6 innings while Cain had 7 shut out innings with 5 K's. Though he hit a couple of batters, he did not allow any runs which is the important part. As for offense, Cody Ross comes through again as he gets a RBI single in the 5th to get the scoring started for the Giants. The Giants would tack on two more and win the game, 3-0. They now have a 2-1 series lead.
As for the ALCS, the Rangers had to make due without Cliff Lee. Tommy Hunter would come out in the 4th inning as he allowed 3 runs. Derek Holland came in and plugged the whole right up for 3.2 innings. Meanwhile, Bengie Molina came out and hit a 3 run home run in the 6th to give the Rangers the lead. Texas would never look back and went on to win the game, 10-3. They now have a 3-1 series advantage.
The Yankees now have their backs against the wall needing to win 3 straight games to get to the World Series. It seems even worse knowing that Cliff Lee would be the last stop of that stretch. As for the Giants, they look good with that great pitching rotation as they have two more games at home.
