Phillies 10, Padres 6
NLCS Game 4 - Saturday Night, October 22nd in Philadelphia
Phillies lead series, 3-1
One Sentence Summary: Down in the game by four runs before they batted, the Phillies earned their Fightin' nickname, with Rhys Hoskins blasting two crucial home runs in this 10-6 win.
What It Means: Spending the day in Rehobeth Beach, Delaware at Doug's travel baseball tournament, we watched Doug's team play to a tie and win a game before watching most of this game with Doug's teammates and their parents at Lefty's Alley & Eats. It was a wonderful and memorable day, with the Phillies now within a win of returning to the World Series.
What Happened / Featured Card: Phillies' starting pitcher Bailey Falter only recorded two outs, but actually fared slightly better than Padres' starting pitcher Mike Clevinger who didn't retire a batter. Falter was in trouble from the outset, allowing four runs overall, including a solo home run to Manny Machado and a two-run double to Brandon Drury. Connor Brogdon restored some order, allowing an inherited run to score but then following up with two scoreless innings. Brad Hand ironically got the win, even though he was the only Phillies reliever to give up any runs. Andrew Bellatti, Noah Syndergaard, David Robertson and Zach Eflin combined for five scoreless innings of relief.

The Phillies offense never let up. Hoskins hit his first home run in the first, following a Kyle Schwarber lead-off single, cutting the deficit to 4-2. J.T. Realmuto walked and Bryce Harper doubled him home, quickly turning the momentum of the game. Bryson Stott tied the game in the fourth with a single to left, scoring Nick Castellanos. Juan Soto hit a two-run home run off Hand in the fifth, giving the Padres a temporary 6-4 lead.
In the team's four-run fifth, Hoskins hit his second two-run home run, tying the score and resulting in a memorable bat toss towards the dugout. Harper doubled home Realmuto who had walked, and Castellanos singled home Harper giving the Phillies an 8-6 lead. Solo home runs from Schwarber in the sixth and Realmuto in the seventh proved to be unnecessary but still fun to watch.
