Who knew you could score without hitting it over the fence​

[bkox]

Aaron Nola's night is done. He's made 5 playoff starts at Citizens Bank Park. He has a 1.57 ERA.

The Diamondbacks did nothing against him.

— Corey Seidman ( @CSeidmanNBCS ) October 18, 2023

Best at-bat of the game is Bryson Stott against Joe Mantiply, who held lefties to a .185/.209/.231 line. Singles to get a HUGE matchup advantage with Realmuto vs. Mantiply. Game-changer.

— Matt Gelb ( @MattGelb ) October 18, 2023

[Aquapong]

I presume Hoffman will come out since he was already up. Maybe we’ll have a Sanchez sighting to finish it off?

[Docs]

Big inning, great start by Nola

[kikutaro]

Gabriel Moreno

Pitching Change: Jeff Hoffman replaces Aaron Nola.
Called strike (87.8 mph slider)
Swinging strike (86.9 mph slider)
Batter Timeout.
Swinging strike (87.8 mph slider)

Gabriel Moreno strikes out swinging.

[zambonir]

Was thinking Kerkering. Sanchez is probably supposed to pitch in Game 4 but a warm-up inning would make sense.

[kikutaro]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr.

Ball (86.9 mph slider)
In play, out(s) (97.6 mph four-seam fastball)

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. flies out to left fielder Brandon Marsh.
