PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (AFP) — Pitcher Cliff Lee dominated the Dodgers and got plenty of support from the Phillies bats Sunday in an 11-0 victory in baseball's National League Championship Series.

The lopsided triumph gave the reigning World Series champion Phillies a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series that will send the winners to the Fall Classic.

Lee struck out 10 and allowed just three hits in eight innings.

Ryan Howard recorded a triple and Jason Werth homered as the Phillies took a 6-0 lead after two innings.

Howard has driven in a run in all seven of Philadelphia's playoff games this season.

On Sunday Howard had three RBIs, including his two-run triple in the first inning. Werth followed that with a two-run homer, and that was more than Lee needed.

Lee surrendering two singles to Dodgers slugger Manny Ramirez and one to Ronnie Belliard.

Lee also hit a single in the eighth and scored on Shane Victorino's three-run homer. Chad Durbin relieved to begin the ninth and pitched a hitless inning.

Lee is 2-0 with an 0.74 ERA in three postseason starts, giving the Phillies exactly what they expected when they acquired the reigning Cy Young Award winner from Cleveland in July.
