Trea Turner launched a 1st inning solo home run off Arizona starter Merrill Kelly, who quickly found out that he underestimatedKyle Schwarber continued his assault on opposing pitchers in the playoffs, launching the first of two home runs in the 3rd inning to push the Phillies' lead to 2-0.
Schwarber's annihilated his second home run to spark a 4-run 6th inning that included a pair of run-scoring doubles by JT Realmuto and Brandon Marsh. Philadelphia added another 4-runs in the bottom half of the 7th inning to push their lead to 10-0.Game 2 of the Phillies NLCS series against the Arizona Diamondbacks was the hottest ticket in town Tuesday night, but it wasn't the only ticket in town.
Aaron Nola once again held up his end of a dominant one-two punch that he shares with Game 1 starter Zack Wheeler. Nola allowed just 3 hits in 6 innings, striking out 7 and did not issue a walk to lower his post-season ERA below 1.00. Jeff Hoffman, Matt Strahm and Orion Kerkering combined to throw three shutout innings to secure the Game 2 win.
