Game two saw Kei Igawa get it done on the mound.  He improved to 7-3 and he gave up a run on six hits and a walk with three strikeouts in six innings.  Anthony Claggett pitched a shutout ninth to pick up save number four.  Austin Jackson went two for three with a solo home run in the 4-1 win. Shelley Duncan went two for two with two walks and an RBI.
