"The Phillies started Aaron Nola with the plan of getting them through the lineup once, and he was able to get them the first six outs without a run scoring and took them to the ninth hitter in the lineup. While the Rangers would have liked to avoid letting a lefty face Edman, they also wanted Suárez to start an inning fresh, rather than entering during the inning."
"But the Phillies ended up breaking the game open against Clayton Kershaw. After struggling to get through his first inning of work, Kershaw allowed five runs in the eighth inning, including two home runs. It started off with a solo homer from J.T. Realmuto. Max Kepler walked and Nick Castellanos reached on an error before Trea Turner singled home two runs to make it 6-1. Schwarber extended the lead to 8-1 with his second homer of the night."
The Phillies built a lead and defeated the Dodgers 8-2 in Game 3 to force a Game 4 in the National League Division Series. The Dodgers jumped out early when Tommy Edman hit a homer off Ranger Suárez, who had just entered in relief. Aaron Nola retired the first six outs and navigated the lineup as planned. The Phillies tied the game on a Kyle Schwarber solo homer and took the lead on runs driven in by Bryce Harper, Alec Bohm and a Brandon Marsh sacrifice fly. Clayton Kershaw surrendered five runs in the eighth, including two homers, as Philadelphia broke the game open. The Dodgers added a ninth-inning run, and Bryce Harper expressed excitement about playing at Dodger Stadium.
