Pinch power: Francisco's HR lifts Phils over Cards in Game 3 Tue Oct  4 21:12:53 2011 EST
St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Ben Francisco's pinch-hit, seventh-inning three-run home run snapped a scoreless contest and Ryan Madson recorded the final five outs, as the Philadelphia Phillies claimed a narrow 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 3 of this NL Division Series from Busch Stadium. Jimmy Rollins collected a pair of hits for the Phillies, who took a 2-1 edge in the best-of-five set. Cole Hamels (1-0) worked six scoreless innings, allowed five hits and walked three, b
Hamels gets ball for Phillies in St. Louis Tue Oct  4 10:50:15 2011 EST
(Sports Network) - Cole Hamels tries to get the Philadelphia Phillies back on track this evening when the National League Division Series shifts to St. Louis for Game 3 at Busch Stadium. A World Series MVP for the Phillies in 2008, Hamels was 14-9 with a 2.79 ERA this season, but he allowed nine home runs in six September outings. Hamels, though, has been terrific in the playoffs for the Phillies, posting a 6-4 mark to go along with a 3.33 ERA in 12 postseason starts. "Every time I go out, I tr
Are the Brewers the team to beat in the National League? Mon Oct  3 13:32:53 2011 EST
(Sports Network) - The Philadelphia Phillies were and still are the prohibitive favorites to win the World Series. But, after watching the Milwaukee Brewers this past weekend, perhaps they are the team to beat here in October. The Brewers showed their full arsenal to the Arizona Diamondbacks in Games 1 and 2, as they beat them behind a terrific pitching performance from Yovani Gallardo on Saturday, then went into full "beast mode" on Sunday, taking 9-4 win. "That's a type game where you feel li

(Sports Network) - Cliff Lee was a big part of the Philadelphia Phillies' National League pennant in 2009. They hope he will be a part of something bigger this season. Tonight, he takes the ball for the Phillies in Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the St. Louis Cardinals at Citizens Bank Park. Lee shocked the world this past offseason by signing with Philadelphia, who traded him after the 2009 season following the acquisition of Roy Halladay. Lee flourished in his role as s

(Sports Network) - Roy Halladay opened last year's postseason with a no- hitter, but his year ultimately ended in disappointment. He's hoping for a different ending this time around. Armed with one of the best starting rotations ever the Philadelphia Phillies enter this year's playoffs as the odds-on favorites to win a World Series title. That quest begins on Saturday when they open the National League Division Series against the red-hot St. Louis Cardinals at Citizens Bank Park. "I know you co

(Sports Network) - The St. Louis Cardinals needed some help to reach the playoffs and they got it from their National League Division Series opponent, the Philadelphia Phillies. St. Louis won 16 of its last 21 games and was battling the Atlanta Braves for the final playoff berth in the National League. The Braves' monumental collapse concluded with Wednesday's extra-inning loss to the Phillies soon after the Cardinals took care of their own business in Houston. The Cardinals then watched the Ph

The Cardinals then waited in the visitor's clubhouse and watched on television as the Philadelphia Phillies topped Atlanta, 4-3, in 13 innings. That loss by the Braves gave the Cardinals the National League wild card spot and a trip to Philadelphia to face the NL East-champion Phillies on Saturday in Game 1 of their Division Series.

``It's like living out a bad dream,'' Braves third baseman Chipper Jones said.

Atlanta took sole possession of the NL wild-card lead on June 20, according to STATS LLC, and held it until Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Just three weeks ago, the margin was a comfortable 8 1/2 games.

While the Braves slumped, St. Louis got hot and won 21 of 29, the latest a 13-6 triumph at Houston after spotting the last-place Astros an early five-run lead.
