Halladay hit hard in second postseason start


Roy Holliday pitches vs Giants Oct 16th in loss.

PHILADELPHIA (AP)—Roy Halladay(notes) is hittable, after all, this postseason. Who knew?
Working on nine days’ rest, Halladay’s postseason hitless streak ended at 11 innings when Ross homered off him in the NL championship series opener.

Cody Ross hit 2 home runs in the Giants 4 - 3 win over the Phillies.

Halladay’s dud of an encore means he will have to watch for a while now, as the Phillies try to crawl out of this 0-1 hole. Game 2 is on Sunday, and Halladay won’t take the mound again until Game 4 at the earliest, in San Francisco.

ALCS: Rangers tie series and 1 - 1

1 of the 7 runs scored by Texas.

Less than 24 hours after allowing the New York Yankees to make the biggest comeback in franchise history, the Rangers showed no signs of a hangover in Saturday's Game 2. Their hitters roughed up a New York starter (Phil Hughes(notes)) for the second straight day and the bullpen actually got the job done this time after being handed the game by starter Colby Lewis(notes) in the sixth inning.

Joba's look is just about the way the Yankee's played.

End result: A 7-2 victory that tied the series at a game apiece, gave the Rangers the first home playoff win in franchise history and made amends with a Texas fanbase that was battling with their shaken faith.Yahoo Sports
