PHOENIX — The Diamondbacks came home and ‘embraced the chaos’ in a 2-1 walk-off win against the Phillies on Thursday night. It seems like home field advantage was all the team needed to step up to the plate and secure a much-needed win after two road losses.
Starting pitcher in Thursday’s game Brandon Pfaadt made Major League Baseball history as the first pitcher in postseason history with back-to-back starts allowing zero runs and zero walks. Pfaddt also had the seventh-most strikeouts by a rookie in a postseason game.
Ahead of tomorrow’s game, the team announced Joe Mantiply will start for the D-backs in Game 4. 12News Cameron Cox reports it will be a “bullpen game” for the Diamondbacks and the Phillies are starting Cristopher Sanchez.
Whether you are a die-hard D-backs fan or hopping on the bandwagon hopefully headed for the World Series, 12News has you covered. Here’s what you need to know ahead of Game 4 of the National League Championship Series (NCLS) happening right here in Phoenix on Friday.
