Game 3 Awaits

Game 3 of the National League Championship Series awaits Phillies and Dodgers fans worldwide.

First pitch is slated for roughly 8:22pm and should bring a lot of excitement in Philadelphia.

The Phillies lead the best of seven series 2 games to 0 and send the ‘Ageless Wonder,’ Jamie Moyer to the mound for what fans hope to be a third straight win in the series.

The Dodgers will send rookie Hiroki Kuroda to the mound who has not allowed an earned run in the playoffs. This is only his second start though.

Joe Torre announced on Sunday that Derek Lowe will start game four of the series, which takes place on Monday, and he will be pitching on three days’ rest.

Lowe lost the series opener 3-2 in Philadelphia. He allowed a game tying two run homerun to Chase Utley and then a go ahead and eventual game winning homerun to Pat Burrell.
