The Philadelphia Phillies pushed the Arizona Diamondbacks to the brink with starting pitcher Jack Wheeler's good pitching and home runs by Kyle Schwarber (1 point), Bryce Harper (1 point), and J.T. Realmuto (2 points).
Philadelphia beat home team Arizona 6-1 in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series (NLCS) at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona on the 22nd
Philadelphia, leading the series with 3 wins and 2 losses, will be on the World Series stage as the National League champion for the second consecutive year if it wins one more game in Game 6 and 7 at its home.
Philadelphia took the lead by scoring two runs in the first inning. With two outs and runners on first and second bases, Bryson Stott scored one point with a timely hit to the right and added one point with a double steal (double steal) in the first and third bases that followed. When the first baseman tried to steal second base, third baseman Harper dug home. In the process, there was a collision with the catcher, but the referee ruled that Harper could not avoid the collision because the throw was biased toward the third base foul line.
Philadelphia, which allowed a tie with closer Craig Kimbral in Game 3 and Game 4, secured its victory with two cannons in the sixth inning when it was keeping an unstable lead.
Leadoff hitter Schwarber hit a solo home run off Arizona starter Jack Gallen. It is Schwaber's fifth NLCS cannon and his 20th career postseason home run.
Harper, the main hitter, also burst out. After one out, he drew a one-point arch in the same direction and ran away 4-0, silencing 47,897 spectators.
In the bottom of the seventh inning, he allowed a solo home run to Arizona Alec Thomas and was chased by three points, but Realmuto's two-run home run to the left exploded immediately after the counterattack in the top of the eighth inning, sealing the game.
Philadelphia's Jack Wheeler, the winning pitcher in Game 1 of the NLCS, gave his team a decisive victory with seven innings of five hits, eight strikeouts and one run. Wheeler, a 33-year-old right-hander, has three wins, no losses and a 2.08 ERA in four postseason games. He is showing off his appearance as a "big game feature" with 34 strikeouts and two walks in 26 innings. 스포츠토토
Game 6 between the two teams will continue at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at 6 a.m. on the 24th.
Philadelphia is trying to finish the series with Aaron Nola, a starting pitcher who continues his powerful pitching with three wins and no losses and a 0.96 ERA this postseason.
On the other hand, Arizona, which is on the brink of a cliffhanger in the NLCS, which entered the league for the first time in 16 years, is aiming for a counterattack with right-hander Merrill Kelly (1-1, 3.00 ERA), who has been exported from the Korean professional baseball league.
