Zack Wheeler will begin the seventh at 92 pitches. JosĆ© Alvarado is getting ready in the bullpen. Arizona's 7-8-9 hitters due up.ā Matt Gelb ( @MattGelb ) October 22, 2023

His last hit was in the 2nd inning of game 2.
Why Alvarado in the 7th?that is emptying the bank very early.
Yes, obviously, you play to win Game 6, just saying I would have saved Wheeler for the possibility of some innings in Game 7 if needed. Additionally you donāt want to keep pushing him when you still need 2 more starts from him. It has been a long season and we have played more games than just about any team will have ever played (equal to last year) by the end of this.
Also would be great to get Turner back on a hot streak soon.
Very disappointing to chop the first pitch right to the pitcher.
Need some good pitching to hold this lead.
Alek Thomas
In play, run(s) (83.5 mph sweeper)
Alek Thomas homers (4) on a fly ball to right center field.
Philadelphia Phillies 4 - Arizona Diamondbacks 1
Lead down to 3.
Need Wheeler to get at least 2 outs out of the first 3.Then Alvarado
Or just get Wheeler out of there. Nobody knows anything.
Evan Longoria
In play, out(s) (96.2 mph four-seam fastball)
Evan Longoria flies out to center fielder Johan Rojas.
Jesus, just as I typed that. Need the next 3 now.
Geraldo Perdomo
Ball (96.1 mph four-seam fastball)In play, out(s) (95.6 mph four-seam fastball)
Geraldo Perdomo grounds out, second baseman Bryson Stott to first baseman Bryce Harper.
like I said, leave him in
wow my stream is really lagging as I just saw the HR and now there are 2 outs
The streams are about three pitches behind.
How often has Alvarado faced Carroll and Marte so far in this series? That was part of the issue in the world series last year. He kept facing Yordan and eventually that hurt them
Amazing diving play by Stott! Give him the gold glove!
Fantastic play by Stott. One would think he's been playing second base for 20 years.
