NLCS Game 5 - "Howard leaves Cards Cryan"

GAME 5
Oswalt vs Suppan
Phillies 6, Cardinals 5

 

For a long while it looked like Roy Oswalt was going to channel his inner Howard Ehmke once again.  "Ozzie" did author up a "quality start" by fanning 8 and allowing 3 in 6.1 IP.  When he left the game he was up 5-2, but Bastardo and Hamels blew the save as the Cards scored 3 in the 7th.  A Ryan Howard solo blast in the top of the 8th wasted the Redbirds comeback.  Hammels (gets the win) threw a clean 8th and Madson cut a scoreless 9th for the save.  Cardinal fans had their hearts ripped out with this loss.
Phillies lead series 3-2
