D-Backs Beat Phillies 5-1 To Force Deciding Game 7 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Oct 24, 2023 4:44 am

An improbable postseason ride will continue for the Arizona Diamondbacks, who forced Game 7 of the National League Championship Series on Tuesday after beating the Philadelphia Phillies 5-1 in Game 6 on Monday.

Diamondbacks starter Merrill Kelly was fantastic, setting the tone for the visitors as he gave up just one run over five innings. In the process, he helped quiet the usually raucous Philadelphia crowd.

\"I think that\'s the first time they sat for a playoff game,\" closer Paul Sewald observed after the game. \"It\'s just a testament to how we got this game started.\"
