Phillies vs Padres

Rhys Hoskins homered twice, Kyle Schwarber hit a solo shot into shrubbery and Harper doubled to put Philadelphia ahead for good in a wild 10-6 win over the San ...

He issued a one-out walk and then [Juan Soto](http://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/36969/juan-soto) lined a two-run homer to right, his first of the postseason and first since Oct. [Brad Hand](http://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/31077/brad-hand), the fourth pitcher of the game, coughed up the lead in the fifth. Reliever [Connor Brogdon](http://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41515/connor-brogdon) allowed an RBI single to [Ha-Seong Kim](http://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4089862/ha-seong-kim) to make it 4-0. [Bailey Falter](http://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/4705677/bailey-falter) to start Game 4 after a 17-day layoff and hoped the lefty could at least go once through the order. [Manny Machado](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/31097/manny-machado) rocked a homer to left and answered the chants of “Manny Sucks!” by cupping his right hand to his ear as he rounded the bases. [Brandon Drury](http://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32269/brandon-drury) lined a two-RBI double off the right field wall for a 3-0 lead. That was the lone stretch of normalcy in this one. Harper then told the fans exactly where he lived — and his house is their home, too. Realmuto walked to set the stage for Harper. “It’s a lot of fun to be able to come to the park every day knowing our fans are going to show out each night.” The clincher came in a four-run fifth inning against reliever Harper — who signed a 13-year, $330 million free-agent deal in 2019 — had made Philly both his home and a championship contender with a postseason already among the greatest in franchise history.

PHILADELPHIA -- For the first time since 2009, the Phillies sit one win away from a National League pennant following their 10-6 victory over the Padres in ...

[@juanctoribio](http://twitter.com/juanctoribio). His four home runs are tied for the MLB lead this postseason, and his 1.311 OPS is currently the 11th best in a single postseason in AL/NL history -- and the highest since Manny Ramirez in 2008 (1.747 OPS). • Former Phillies All-Star Jayson Werth will throw out the ceremonial first pitch ahead of Game 5. Soto also homered in Game 4 and is starting to heat up. That means Philadelphia will have each of its top two relievers available -- possibly for more than one inning apiece -- behind its ace, Wheeler, in a potential NL pennant-clinching game. They might have to, because the Padres used Martinez for nine outs and Luis García for five in Game 4. Padres: San Diego simply hasn't hit Wheeler, but it’s not like it has an array of left-handed options on its bench it can turn to. Going back to the regular season, Wheeler has a 1.05 ERA in six starts since returning from a month-long stint on the injured list on Sept. [Zack Wheeler](https://www.mlb.com/player/zack-wheeler-554430) (12-7, 2.82 ERA in the regular season) held the Padres to one hit over seven scoreless innings in Game 1, and the right-hander will look to replicate that dominance when he takes the mound at Citizens Bank Park for the first time this postseason. In all best-of-seven postseason series, teams that take a 3-1 lead have gone on to win the series 77 of 91 times (85 percent).

The Phillies defeated the Padres 10-6 in a high-scoring Game 4 of the NLCS. Philadelphia leads the series 3-1, one win away from their first World Series ...

It’s Game 3 of the 2022 NLCS, at raucous Citizens Bank Park. Thomson made the calls necessary for the Phillies to win, 4-2, and take a two-games-to-one lead in the series. And the Padres need to build a bridge to get that far before they can think about closing anything off in Game 4. Ultimately, he went with Clevinger, and the chance that this is something of a bullpen game. Another raucous crowd turned out at Philly for Game 4, hoping to see the home nine take a commanding 3-1 lead in the NLCS. 5, and there were questions about how sharp he’d be or how deep he might go, with the Phillies hoping to get about three innings out of him. Staked to a 4-0 lead, Clevinger frittered away almost the entire lead in a span of four batters before getting the hook. And he hadn’t pitched in the postseason since six hits and five runs (four earned) in 2 2/3 innings of an NLDS Game 1 loss against the Dodgers on Oct. After Phillies reliever Brad Hand walked Jurickson Profar with one out, he hung a 2-1 slider to Soto, who drove it 383 feet to the right-field bleachers, putting the Phillies back in front, 6-4. Syndergaard replaced Brad Hand to start the sixth inning and retired three of four batters, allowing only a single, protecting the 8-6 lead after Philly’s four-run outburst in the fifth. Having dispatched the Braves in a four-game NLDS, they now hold a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven NLCS, and will have a chance to clinch at home Sunday in Game 5 in the snakepit that Citizens Bank Park has been for opponents in this postseason. In a high-scoring game, the Phillies tallied 11 hits and four home runs.

The Phillies are now up 3-1 in the series with their win on Saturday night. Realmuto would walk, then score on a Bryce Harper double to give the Phillies a new lead. Hoskins' performance was just the eighth multi-homer postseason game in Phillies history, The Padres retook the lead in the fifth on a Juan Soto two-run shot, his first of the postseason. Soto hit five homers in the 2019 playoffs en route to a Nationals World Series title. Brogdon did allow his inherited runner to score on a hit, but that would be the only hit he gave up in 2 1/3 innings. The Phillies would then tie the game in the fourth. He gave up a home run to Manny Machado before a single, walk and double and his day was done with the Padres already leading 3-0. The Phillies' stars went on the attack once more, turning a 6-4 deficit into a 10-6 lead in a matter of three innings. It would be 4-0 before we got to the bottom of the first. The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the San Diego Padres 10-6 on Saturday night in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series. As a result, the Phillies are now one victory away from claiming the NL pennant.
