SAN FRANCISCO Rick Ankiel splashed a tiebreaking home run into McCovey Cove in the 11th inning, and Atlanta rallied from a late four-run deficit to beat San Francisco 5-4 on Friday night in the NL Division Series.

The Braves had 46 come-from-behind victories this season and did it again when it counted with manager Bobby Cox watching from the clubhouse after his third career postseason ejection in the second inning.

Atlanta heads home to Turner Field for Game 3 on Sunday with the best-of-five series tied at a win apiece. Its the only first-round playoff series that is even after two games.

Kyle Farnsworth pitched 1 2-3 shutout innings for the victory, relieving in the 10th after closer Billy Wagner was injured fielding a bunt. Farnsworth escaped a bases-loaded jam when Buster Posey grounded into an inning-ending double play that was started by Troy Glaus at third base.

Alex Gonzalez hit a tying, two-run double in the eighth against Giants closer Brian Wilson, who led the majors with 48 saves this season.

Ankiel homered on a 2-2 pitch from Ramon Ramirez.

 

Phillies 7, Reds 4

PHILADELPHIA Cincinnati right fielder Jay Bruce missed a line drive in the seventh inning, allowing two runs to score, and Philadelphia took advantage of the Reds shoddy defense for a 2-0 lead in the series.

Brandon Phillips hit a leadoff homer on Roy Oswalts fourth pitch and the Reds built a 4-0 lead before their defense and bullpen unraveled.

The Phillies rallied against hard-throwing rookie Aroldis Chapman and his triple-digit fastball after soft-tossing starter Bronson Arroyo kept Philadelphias hitters off balance.

Game 3 is Sunday night in Cincinnati. Cole Hamels, the 2008 World Series MVP, pitches for the Phillies. Johnny Cueto is on the mound for the Reds.

Leading 4-3, the Reds turned to Chapman to protect the slim margin in the seventh. The 22-year-old Cuban hit Chase Utley with a 101 mph fastball leading off.

After Ryan Howard struck out, Jayson Werth hit a bouncer to third baseman Scott Rolen. Utley beat the throw to second on a close call.

Jimmy Rollins then hit a liner to right that Bruce turned into a two-base error. The ball rolled past him and Utley scored the tying run. Werth scored without a play when Phillips dropped the relay for another error, and the Phillies took a 5-4 lead.

Jose Contreras tossed a perfect seventh to earn the win. Brad Lidge pitched around a leadoff walk in the ninth for the save.
