August 17th- Giants-6 Phillies-5
In a well played back and forth ballgame, the San Francisco Giants defeated the Philadelphia Phillies by the score of 6-5, on a two out RBI single by Jed Lowrie off of Phillies reliever JC Romero, who was charged with his first blown save of the season.

August 18th- Phillies-6 Giants-5 (15 Innings)
In another great game, the Phillies took a 4-2 lead into the 9th, only to see Brad Lidge allow an RBI sac fly to Jed Lowrie followed later by an RBI single by Pablo Sandoval which tied the game at four, forcing extra innings. In the extra frames, the Giants finally snapped the 4-4 deadlock in the 15 on an RBI single by Buster Posey, but in the bottom of the inning the Phils went right to work, getting a leadoff single from Ryan Howard that was immediately followed by a mammoth home run by Jayson Werth, giving the Phillies the 6-5 walkoff win.

August 19th- Giants-7 Phillies-6
In a fitting conclusion to what has been a highly entertaining series, the Giants took advantage of an ineffective Roy Oswalt and built a 6-1 fourth inning lead. In the 6th however, a 3 run homer from red hot Jayson Werth closed the gap to 6-4, and suddenly the Phillies had life. In the 8th, the Giants added to the lead, making it 7-4 on an RBI double by Pablo Sandoval, but once again the Phillies responded, getting a two run shot from Ryan Howard to make it 7-6. The Phils would run out of steam however, as Giants reliever Guillermo Moto twirled a scoreless 9th to preserve the 7-6 San Francisco victory.
