...third time in the series, the Phillies chose to pitch to rookie Marshall, who is 0 for 8 so far, by walking the batter ahead of him. Tuesday night, they walked Pedro Guerrero twice to get to Marshall. Last night, they intentionally passed Ken Landreaux in the fifth inning to bring the rookie to the plate with runners on first and third with two out. All three times, Marshall made...
...eighth inning, the Dodgers left the bases loaded. Sax singled with one out and went to third when Baker looped a single out to right field, after a Bill Russell popout.
