Plus: Scherzer faces Astros tonight in ALCS
Good morning! The Phillies have quite the homer-field advantage. |
|
|
Phillies ring D-backs' bell to seize 2-0 NLCS lead Kyle Schwarber became the latest Phillie with a multihomer game and a transcendent Aaron Nola shut down Arizona in an all-out rout that kept this vibing squad unbeaten at Citizens Bank Park this postseason. |
|
|
| Each of Philadelphia's past 13 homers has come with the bases empty, the longest stretch of solo homers in postseason history. The Phillies' 16 roundtrippers in their past five postseason games is the most by any team in such a span. |
|
|
| Max Scherzer makes his Rangers postseason debut tonight as the ALCS shifts to Arlington, where Houston desperately needs a victory. Here's everything to watch for. |
|
|
| Kyle Tucker is not the only member of Houston's offense who's struggled at the plate the past two games, but the spotlight shines brighter on star players, both in good times and bad. |
|
|
| Sidelined since Sept. 13, Max Scherzer admitted that he's not entirely sure how he'll feel on the mound after being out for as long as he was, but he's ready to compete and help the Rangers win. |
|
|
| No one has personified the Phillies' defensive renaissance more fully than Alec Bohm, who made three slick plays in Game 2. |
|
|
| After dropping the first two games of the NLCS at Citizens Bank Park, Arizona heads home. But it can't count on simply a change of venue to be a cure-all. | |

Alec Bohm used ALL of his 6-foot-5 frame on this play. |
|
|
The 2023 rookie class was historically great, with breakout stars and excellent depth from across 16 different organizations. |

|
The adage of being hot at the right time has long been a prominent element of postseason baseball, and nobody has been hotter than the Rangers this October. Almost no team in history has been hotter, in fact. |
| |
|
Teams that win the first two games of a best-of-seven postseason series have prevailed in 75 of 89 instances -- but those 14 teams that have rallied show that all is not lost for the D-backs and Astros. |
| |
|
As Arizona prepares to host the NLCS, see how its clubhouse crew keeps the D-backs' uniforms so fresh and so clean on game days. |
