Roy Halladay pitched through ‘pop in back’ during Game 5 of 2011 NLDS

Roy Halladay was on the ropes in the first inning of Game 5 of the 2011 NLDS.

After allowing a leadoff triple by Rafael Furcal, Halladay surrendered an RBI double off of the bat of St. Louis Cardinals center fielder Skip Schumaker. Halladay managed to escape the top of the first inning only having allowed one run, but he needed 33 pitches to do so. It appeared that it would be a short night for the future Hall of Famer, as the Phillies season hung in the balance.
