Philadelphia, PA (My Sportsbook) - Shane Victorino hit a grand slam off CC Sabathia, and Brett Myers tossed seven strong innings as Philadelphia downed Milwaukee, 5-2, in Game 2 of the teams' National League Division Series.

The Phillies took a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five series and moved one victory away from winning their first playoff series since 1993. Game 3 is scheduled for Saturday in Milwaukee.

It was Victorino's first career grand slam and the first postseason grand slam in Phillies franchise history. Myers (1-0) gave up two runs on two hits and three walks, while striking out four, for Philadelphia, which has won seven straight against Milwaukee dating back to the regular season.

Myers also went 1-for-2 with a crucial walk that led to Victorino's homer.

Philadelphia got all its runs off Sabathia (0-1), who turned in his second- shortest outing of the season. In 3 2/3 frames, he gave up five runs on six hits and four walks, with five strikeouts.

Sabathia, who was going on short rest for the fourth straight time, went 3 1/3 innings in his third start of the season, and gave up five earned runs for the first time since an April 16 start against Detroit.

J.J. Hardy doubled and drove in a run for the Brewers, who are making their first postseason appearance since 1982, but also overcame an 0-2 series deficit that postseason. Milwaukee lost the first two games of the best-of- five American League Championship Series, but rebounded to win the final three games against the California Angels.
