![]() ![]() Heavy lifting from Domínguez there, and he might be unavailable for Game 4. Jp86RYX1lF- FOX Sports: MLB October 22, 2022 Jurickson Profar was heated after this call at the plate. Josh Bell singled to lead off the ninth, bringing the tying run to the plate, but a strikeout (on a check-swing call that Jurickson Profar didn't care for), pop out and strikeout ended the threat. He did it once in the 1980 NLCS and then two times in the World Series, most recently Game 6, which was exactly 42 years ago.ĭomínguez struck Manny Machado out to set the tone. The only Phillies pitcher to record a six-out playoff save, previously, was Tug McGraw. ![]() Thomson then turned to Seranthony Domínguez with six outs to go. It should be noted that the ball wasn't well struck, but also let's give credit to Soto for fighting off a two-strike pitch for a shift-beating single to left. José Alvarado struck out two in his inning of work and went back out for the eighth, but he gave up a leadoff single to Juan Soto. Two just happened to be hits.įrom there, Thomson handed it off to his two best relievers. Zach Eflin worked a scoreless sixth and even though he gave up two hits, manager Rob Thomson correctly pointed out on the broadcast that all he did was his job in getting groundballs. The Phillies bullpen was stellarĮven with Suárez throwing well, the Phillies needed some big work from their oft-maligned bullpen. Suárez was definitely the better of the two, though. You have to give both starters credit for throwing well enough to prevent the bullpens from being taxed. Musgrove's final line: 5.2 IP, 8 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 5 K Juan Soto misplayed Bohm's hit into a double, but that didn't ultimately matter, as Bohm wouldn't score. He got two groundouts to start the sixth, too, but then Nick Castellanos and Alec Bohm hit back-to-back doubles and give the Phillies a 4-2 lead. Musgrove then struck out the side in the fifth. Credit Segura on the two-out knock we discussed above, too. He did have trouble in the fourth and can't blame it on defense. He settled in after that, getting stronger as the game went along. He started off in opposite fashion to Suárez, giving up the leadoff bomb to Schwarber and then walking two straight before getting Bryce Harper to hit into a double play. He only allowed two runs on two hits, but only one run was earned as his defense was shoddy behind him, committing two errors. As such, he'd be more fresh if there's a Game 7. He would end up lasting five innings and only needed 68 pitchers to do so. He started the game on fire, getting Ha-seong Kim and Juan Soto with looking strikeouts. Ranger Suárez was up to the task for the Phillies. With no days off remaining in the series, the last thing either manager needed to deal with was a starting pitcher that couldn't get his team out of the early innings. This is wild lol /MrS382d元Q- Alex Coffey OctoSuárez was slightly better than Musgrove We can't be sure the double play would have been turned, but we never got a chance to find out. They had a chance at a double play and it was a good feed, but Segura just dropped the ball at second. Phillies starter Ranger Suárez did his job and got a grounder to Bryson Stott at short. The middle was back, playing for the double play. The Phillies had a 1-0 lead at the time, so they had the corners in, ready to throw home on a grounder. The Padres had runners at first and third after a squibbed one-out grounder from Brandon Drury went through the wide-open right side. Much has been made about the Phillies being the worst defensive team left in the playoffs - and that goes back two rounds - and it bit them in the top of the fourth. Some extreme good and bad for Phillies second baseman Jean Segura, who was the active player with the most career regular-season games played and no playoff appearances just a few weeks ago. He had seven leadoff homers in the regular season and this was his 11th career playoff homer in his 137th at-bat. Schwarber became just the second Phillies player ever with a leadoff homer in the playoffs after (who else?) Jimmy Rollins, who did it three times ( via ESPN Stats and Info). ![]() Schwarber had a brutal first two rounds of the playoffs, but he hit a monster shot - 488 feet - in Game 1 and now this one put the Phillies up 1-0 early.
