Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19 (UPI) -- San Francisco, keyed by Matt Cain's seven scoreless innings, blanked Philadelphia 3-0 Tuesday for a 2-1 lead in the National League Championship Series.
Cain (1-0) shut the Phillies down on two hits and three walks while striking out five in notching the victory after 10 days off since his last start against Atlanta in the NL Division Series -- the longest layoff in his career.
Javier Lopez tossed a scoreless eighth inning. Brian Wilson collected his second save of the series in the ninth, allowing a single to Jimmie Rollins before inducing Raul Ibanez to ground into a game-ending double play.
Freddie Sanchez, Cody Ross and Aubrey Huff all drove in runs for the Giants in the victory.
Phillies starter Cole Hamels (0-1) retired the first nine batters he faced but then ran into trouble, allowing three runs on five hits over six frames.
Philadelphia tries to avoid going down 3-games-to-1 in Wednesday's Game 4.
