The Phillies, for the first since Oct. 17, 2010, won their first National League Championship Series game in their own home ballpark, winning 4-2 over the San Diego Padres, and taking a 2 games to 1 lead in this best-of-seven series.
If the crowd wasn’t pumped up enough before the game, it took just one swing of the bat by slugger Kyle Schwarber to set them into delirium.
There’s a reason why his teams have been in the postseason in seven of the past eight years. Five years and a World Series title with the Chicago Cubs, last year with the Boston Red Sox and now with the Phillies. He even reached the College World Series with Indiana University. Phillies starter Ranger Suarez seemed to escape the jam with another routine double-play grounder to shortstop Bryson Stott. He flipped the ball quickly to Segura for the first out, only for Segura to drop it. Everyone was safe after the umpire’s review, with Juan Soto scoring the tying run.
Suarez, making his first start in 10 days, certainly set the tone for the game. He gave up just two hits without a walk in his five-inning stint as the Phillies’ No. 3 starter before turning the game over to reliever Zach Eflin. The Padres threatened immediately against Eflin. They had runners on first and third with one out, only for Eflin to induce an inning-ending double play, turned by Segura.
The Phillies went 6-for-13 and drove in three runs with two outs, with their bullpen closing the door by pitching four shutout innings, including Seranthony Dominguez’s two-inning save.
