Oswalt leads Phils to 6-1 victory, evens series at 1 game apiece

Roy Oswalt has a history of coming through in the League Championship Series. The National League Championship Series MVP in 2005 with the Houston Astros, Oswalt came out Sunday night firing, and went 8 strong innings, allowing 3 hits and just one run against a struggling San Francisco offense. In addition, Oswalt scored one of the Phils' six runs on a Polanco RBI single, in which he ran right through the stop sign put up by third base coach Sam Perlozzo. The Phillies would tack on three insurance runs on a bases loaded double hit by Jimmy Rollins in the 7th inning, putting the Phillies up 6-1. Roy Oswalt and Ryan Madson would not give up another run for the remainder of the game, giving the Phillies a much needed home victory, and evening the series at 1-1. Game 3 will take place at 4:19 p.m. on Tuesday, with Cole Hamels going against Giants' pitcher Matt Cain.
