The Phils jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in game 4, thanks to a leadoff ground rule double by Jimmy Rollins, a triple by Chase Utley, and a single by Hunter Pence. Unfortunately, like Cliff Lee in game 2, Roy Oswalt couldn't hold the lead, allowing 5 runs on 6 hits in a tough 5-3 loss to the Cardinals. That means Chris Carpenter and Roy Halladay will square off at the Bank in a decisive game 5.
