Phillies win! The Philadelphia Phillies beat the San Diego Padres 4-2 in Game 3 of the NLCS to take a 2-1 series lead! RedOctober
Three of the Phillies' four runs came with two outs. In addition to Segura's hit in the fourth -- a poke job to right field that was reminiscent of his clutch hit in the ninth inning of Game 1 of the NL wild-card series in St. Louis -- the Phils got back-to-back doubles from Nick Castellanos and Alec Bohm with two outs in the sixth to go up, 4-2.
At the time, Thomson's decision to remove Suarez was a bit of a head-scratcher. There was some initial speculation that Suarez might have tweaked a hamstring, but on the television broadcast, Thomson said he removed Suarez because the lefty hadn't pitched in nine days and the Padres' lineup was about to see him for a third time. This isn't Jack Morris' game anymore.
The double play sent an extra shot of electricity through the huge crowd, and in the bottom of the inning, the Phils added a run to their lead on the back-to-back two-out doubles by Castellanos and Bohm. Those hits chased Musgrove from the game.
