Buster Posey
Game 5 saw a rematch of Game 1's starting pitchers: Roy Halladay of the Phillies and Tim Lincecum of the Giants. In the bottom of the first inning Halladay walked leadoff hitter Andrés Torres. Freddy Sanchez followed up with a single, advancing Torres to third. Aubrey Huff lined out to first baseman Ryan Howard, followed by a Buster Posey RBI groundout to second.
