Playoffs

-- Matt Cain outpitched Cole Hamels as the San Francisco Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-0 Tuesday for a 2-1 lead in the NLCS.

Cain allowed two hits over seven innings, struck out five and walked three. It was his first playoff win and first W against the Phils. Hamels surrendered three runs and five hits in six innings. He struck out eight and walked one.

Joe Blanton will start for the Phillies tonight against Madison Bumgarner.

-- Bengie Molina hit a three-run blast off A.J. Burnett and Josh Hamilton added a pair of solo homers as the Rangers bombed the New York Yankees 10-3 last night for a 3-1 lead in the ALCS.

Today's game will match up CC Sabathia against C.J. Wilson, who were the mound opponents in the series opener.
