In a night filled with emotions, Kyle Schwarber led the Philadelphia Phillies’ attack with two home runs, propelling his team to a resounding 8-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 of the National League Division Series. Schwarber’s performance, including an impressive hit that surpassed the right field pavilion, was key to avoiding the sweep and keeping the Phillies’ hopes alive.Schwarber’s first home run, a monumental hit, broke an 0-8 drought in the series and demonstrated his power at the plate. The player connected with a 96 mph pitch from pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, sending the ball a distance of 455 feet.
Schwarber, with his two home runs, moved up to third place on the all-time postseason home run list, and leads left-handed hitters in this category. Ranger Suárez had an outstanding performance, allowing only one run and five hits in five innings, with four strikeouts and one walk. J.T. Realmuto also contributed with a home run, while Schwarber added another in the eighth inning against pitcher Clayton Kershaw. Game 4 of the series, with the Dodgers leading 2-1, is scheduled for Thursday at Dodger Stadium. Cristopher Sanchez, who opened Game 1, will be the Phillies’ pitcher, while Tyler Glasnow will take the mound for the Dodgers. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence despite the loss. The Phillies added five more runs in the eighth inning. Six of the Phillies’ 12 hits were against Kershaw. Bryce Harper and Alec Bohm singled, and Harper scored on a fielding error by center fielder Andy Pages. Bryson Stott and Trea Turner hit back-to-back singles in the fifth inning. Anthony Banda managed to get out of a bases-loaded situation in the fifth. The Dodgers took the lead 1-0 thanks to a home run by Tommy Edman. Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman failed to get hits, while Mookie Betts hit a triple and a single.It’s incredible how far that ball went.
