Phi -LEE-ies shutout the Dodgers.

Game 3 of the NLCS was all Phillies as they shout the Dodgers 11-0 to take 2-1 series lead. The big talk of the game was starting pitcher for the Phillies Cliff Lee as he did an awesome job. Lee tossed 8 scoreless innings, gave up only 3 hits, had 10 strikeouts, and now is 2-0 in the postseason with an ERA of 0.74. "Cliff Lee, what can I say about him? He was absolutely outstanding," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. “He just shut down the Dodger bats”.

Ryan Howard started things off in the bottom of the 1st inning as he hit a 2 run triple to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead. Jayson Werth in the same inning would hit a 2 run home run and now put the Phillies up 4-0. In the inning Jimmy Rollins would get a RBI double and make it 5-0. The Phillies would jump all over started Hiroki Kuroda for the Dodgers as he wasn't that good from the start. As we move into the 8th inning the Phillies just shut the door early with an 8-0 lead, by that point Cliff Lee already had 10 strikeouts. But with 2 runners on Shane Victorino hit a 3 run home run and gave the Phils an 11-0 lead. That really closed the doors and put the game in the books. Chad Durbin came in the 9th inning in relieve of Cliff Lee remember Durbin was the only pitcher to come in the bottom of 8th of Game 2 giving up no runs in the bullpen, here he also gets the job done for the Phillies with a one, two, three inning Phillies win. So what a game it was for the Phillies as their bats came alive and for left hander Cliff Lee as he is having an amazing postseason. Let’s keep it rolling!

Game 4 of the NLCS will be tomorrow night at 8:07 on TBS. The Phillies give nod to started Joe Blanton who will make his first postseason start and try to give the Phillies a 3-1 series lead. For the Dodgers they hand the ball over to their left hander and former Phillie Randy Wolf as he will try to slow down the Phillies bats and help the Dodgers tie the series up 2-2. Don’t miss Game 4 of the NLCS, Phillies – Dodgers.
