What a play. Still tied.

Kimbrel is going to make us bite our fingernails off, isn't he?

Jose Alvarado performance in Game 3 is the stuff of legends. Two innings 15 pitches. What a weapon. #redoctober #NLCS #Postseason

Dbacks tie it up and they're threatening.

Pitcher's best friend (double play) followed by #Phillies ' best friend (for now), a wild pitch to score Harper. 1-0, T7.

Suarez is out, too. But what a play to get Carroll at 1st on grounder that Stott stopped with a dive. D-backs have runner at 3rd with Hoffman coming in to face Moreno.

And in 2023, Pfaadt is pulled after 5 2/3 because #analytics with Schwarber coming up.

Suarez and Pfaadt matchup is like Jack Morris beating the Cardinals 1-0 in 10 innings in 1991 World Series. Just a question of who outlasts the other. Didn't see this coming.

Pfaadt has 8 Ks through 5 innings. But Ranger has been darn good too. #Phillies #analysis

Diamondbacks rookie starter Brandon Pfaadt, who turned 25 just four days ago, has struck out six of the 1st 10 Phillies' batters, including leadoff hitter Kyle Schwarber twice.

Phillies can't cash in after Marsh's 1-out double.

I kept hearing that they're elite fielders.
