NLCS highlights: Phillies dominate D-backs at home
The 2023 MLB playoffs continued Tuesday with Game 2 of the NLCS between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Aaron Nola got the ball for the Phillies, and had his stuff working seamlessly as he tossed six innings of shutout ball. His offense took the pressure off of him as well, putting 10 runs on the board led by two homers from Kyle Schwarber to claim the series' first two games.
Here are the top plays!
And that ball is gone!
It's safe to say that Phillies fans are feeling okay about Trea Turner's contract now. The star shortstop mashed a home run to the left-center seats to give Philly a 1-0 first-inning lead.
Blasted!
Kyle Schwarber joined the big fly party with a screaming liner off of Kelly. This drive put the Phillies up 2-0.
Make that two!
This time, Kelly went off-speed to try to beat Schwarber. But it didn't matter, as he locked in on the off-speed pitch and belted it to center field for another home run.
Keep 'em coming
In a massive spot – two outs, and a 3-2 count, JT Realmuto blew the game open with a double to left center field, plating two runs to add some cushion to Philly's lead.
Brandon Marsh followed his catcher up with a double of his own to score Realmuto, before Alec Bohm, Nick Castellanos and Realmuto knocked in runs of their own to put Philadelphia up 10-0.
