Despite having tweaked his groin, Philadelphia starter Roy Halladay was able to outduel San Francisco ace Tim Lincecum last night to keep the Phillies’ season alive.  Halladay didn’t have his best stuff, but was able to power through and hold the Giants to two runs in six innings of work.  The hurler addressed the injury after the game.  “It was just something to deal with.  You make adjustments and pitch your way through it,” Halladay told reporters.  “We know we can win.  It’s a matter of going out and doing it.  We continue to plug away.”  Game 6 will be played on Saturday night.

The ALCS will continue tonight as the Yankees head to Arlington for Game 6.  The Rangers can close it out tonight, but the Yanks will be vying for a chance to face Cliff Lee in Game 7.  New York will turn to youngster Phil Hughes, who has pitched well in 2010 but struggled in his first appearance against the Rangers in Game 2.  The Rangers will throw Colby Lewis.  It’s not exactly a blockbuster pitching matchup, but these two guys could hold the result of the series in their hands.  Any elimination game is always tense.
