Top of the order, Phillies made good contact last inning, would be huge if they can make something happen this inning

Kyle Schwarber

Ball (92.7 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (81. mph knuckle curve)
In play, run(s) (80.9 mph knuckle curve)

Kyle Schwarber homers (5) on a fly ball to right center field.

Philadelphia Phillies 3 - Arizona Diamondbacks 0

Trea Turner

Ball (91. mph cutter)
Called strike (83. mph knuckle curve)
In play, out(s) (88.9 mph changeup)

Trea Turner grounds out, third baseman Evan Longoria to first baseman Christian Walker.

Getting Caroll and Marte there is big. You don't like using any pitcher a third time through the order in a 2 run game but if you trust anyone it's Wheeler. I would not let him face Carroll a fourth time no matter what but that gives him 7 more batters to work with.

Schwarber catches Werth as the all time Phillies post season home run leader with his 11th

Schwarber now has the most HRs ever in the NLCS, 11. Passed Pujols

Phillies to hit 5 HRs in a postseason series
- Chase Utley, 2009 World Series
- Kyle Schwarber, 2023 NLCS

And Harper joins them!

Holy Cow who knew all you had to do was call the homer and now back to back...quick someone call another one

As much as we do want Wheeler to go longer there's obviously something to this third time through thing. As Pietro says he's got some leeway though - especially now.
