D-backs take underdog mentality into Game 7 vs. Phillies
PHILADELPHIA -- Merrill Kelly understands the David vs. Goliath storyline permeating the National League Championship Series.
Rookie right-hander Brandon Pfaadt is slated to start for the Diamondbacks against left-hander Ranger Suarez . "I don't think anybody thought we were going to take them to Game 6," Kelly said on TBS following Monday's win."I don't think anybody even thought we were going to make it to Game 1. I don't think anybody thought we were going to make it past Milwaukee, to be honest with you."
"We earned the right to play in that game and I'm proud of the guys for that," Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. "It's going to be fight, scratch, claw, do whatever you can to score a run, find a way to get outs, find a way to move up an extra 90 feet -- anything that you can," Schwarber said."It's going to be good anxious nerves coming onto the field . This is what you live for, going into the backyard , Game 7. It's going to be fun."
