Hamels was the Game 1 winner for the Phillies while Billingsley was the Game 2 loser for the Dodgers. It was a disappointing outing for Billingsley who was great down the stretch for the Dodgers. "The last time out he may have tried to over-prepare," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said, "That's just my opinion. I didn't think he changed speeds enough. He did early on in the game, and then all of a sudden it became hard, hard, hard -- and he paid the price for it." Now Billingsley must bounce back with a big game on Wednesday night or the Dodgers season is likely to be over. "He's tough," said Dodgers catcher Russell Martin. "He's good in pressure situations, so I'm sure he wants another shot at it. I'm looking forward to it."
