Uribe's sacrifice fly in 9th gives giants 3-1 lead in NLCS

Juan Uribe hit a game-ending sacrifice fly off reliever Roy Oswalt with one out in the ninth inning and the San Francisco Giants moved within one win of the World Series, beating the Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 on Wednesday night for a 3-1 lead in the National League Championship Series (NLCS).

Aubrey Huff singled with one out in the ninth and took third when Buster Posey singled for his fourth hit of the game. Uribe hit a medium-deep fly, leaving left fielder Ben Francisco with no chance to get the sliding Huff.

Boosted by yet another big hit from Cody Ross and a timely double from Pablo Sandoval, the Giants pushed the two-time defending NL champion Phillies to the brink of elimination. Philadelphia will Roy Halladay against Tim Lincecum in Game 5 on Thursday night - it's a rematch of aces that Lincecum won in the opener.
