Schwarber Makes It Two Again

Kyle Schwarber leads off the bottom of the sixth inning for the Phillies with a monster home run to right-center. That’s his second home run of the game and this third of the series. The Phillies keep showing the power that makes a difference in a close game. The Phillies lead the Diamondbacks 3-0 as Philadelphia continues to bat in the sixth inning.

Update: Merrill Kelly walks Trea Turner, but gets the next two batters. He comes out of the game with three runs allowed, five strikeouts, and two walks. Unfortunately, he also allowed three homers.

Update: Joe Mantiply comes in and gives up a single to Bryson Stott, then a double to JT Realmuto. Brandon Marsh follows with a double of his own, and just like that the Phillies are up 6-0.

Mantiply had not allowed a hit in the post season.

Update: A grounder to third ends the inning, but the damage is done. The Diamondbacks are in a huge whole with just nine outs to go.
