Rollins then scored on a sacrifice fly to left field by Chase Utley. Carlos Ruiz followed with a double to deep left field and brought in Pierre. After Domonic Brown grounded out, Nate Schierholtz made it 3-0 when he singled into left-center field to score Ruiz.
    The Fish cut the lead to 3-1 in the fourth inning. Carlos Lee singled into right field with two out as Jose Reyes scored. Giancarlo Stanton was tagged on the play.
