Philadelphia at Denver Game 6

Oswalt vs. Howe: Leopold "Butters" Stotch becomes the latest player to suffer the injury bug this series, suffering a concussion on a hit by pitch in the 2nd inning. Derek Howe hits a double in the 3rd to tie the game at 1. In the 4th, he hits a 2-run single to give Denver a 4-1 lead. To the 9th, the score is 4-2, and Paul Williamson comes in looking for the save. Ruiz grounds out. PH Jake Riggs launches a ball to right but its goes foul. His next swing puts the ball over the right center fence for a solo HR. Jimmy Taylor then singles. He contemplates the steal, but would hate to be caught and never give Paul White a chance to swing the bat. Instead, Bulger pops up to the catcher for out #2. Paul white steps to the plate, and with 2 strikes, takes a close one on the corner. The umpire flails his arms in the air to indicate strike three, and the season is over for Philadelphia. Denver wins the series 4 games to 2 and will host Portland in the LCS. However, they will do so without Butters, and with Favre only available for game 7. Howe W 6.2-6-2-2-3-3, Williamson S 1-2-1-1-0-1, Oswalt L 6-7-4-4-3-4.
