However,Victor MartinezandOmar Infantegoing hitless did not help to bring either of the successful hitters around to score.Jim Leylanddid not strike gold on his second attempt of leavingMax Scherzerin too long in this postseason, as he lasted only 2 innings and gave up 6 ER on 7 hits, a walk and a strikeout.Rick Porcellodid not fare well in relief either, as he gave up 5 ER on 6 hits, 3 walks and 2 strikeouts.
