Recap: Los Angeles vs. Philadelphia
By Sports Network
Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Los Angeles rallied for two eighth-inning runs off the Phillies bullpen, as J.A. Happ walked Andre Ethier to force in the deciding run, spoiling a vintage Pedro Martinez outing and evening the National League Championship Series with a 2-1 decision in Game 2 at Dodger Stadium.
Martinez silenced the Dodgers' bats to just two hits in seven scoreless innings, striking out three and walking none.
But Chan Ho Park (0-1) and the much-maligned Philadelphia bullpen -- with the aid of a Chase Utley error in the eighth -- couldn't hang on to the one-run lead, sending the series back to Philadelphia on Sunday tied at one game apiece.
Hong-Chih Kuo (1-0) recorded the final two outs in the eighth behind a stellar start from Vicente Padilla, who allowed just one run, four hits and a walk while fanning six in 7 1/3 innings for the Dodgers.
Jonathan Broxton retired the top of the Phillies' order in the ninth to record the save.
Ryan Howard had half of Philadelphia's four hits, including a solo homer in the fourth to account for the defending World Series champions' only run.
