October 12 - PHILADELPHIA -- A historic power display has the Philadelphia Phillies on the brink of a return to the National League Championship Series. Trea Turner and Brandon Marsh also homered and Aaron Nola (2-0) struck out nine over 5 2/3 innings as the Phillies captured Game 3 for a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series. They beat the Braves in the NLDS in four games last year, going 2-0 against them in Philadelphia, en route to a World Series trip. Arcia had mocked him during the Braves' celebration after Game 2 ended, which got back to Harper in the Philadelphia clubhouse. An offensive juggernaut all year, the Braves have been held to seven runs and two home runs over three games.

After winning a league-best 104 games in the regular season, the Braves find themselves on the precipice of elimination in the National League Division Series at the hands of the Phillies, in Philadelphia. The Braves must win Game 4 on Thursday night to bring the best-of-five series back to Atlanta for a winner-take-all showdown on Saturday. The hype around "Red October" in Philadelphia is back after the Phillies overcame a difficult loss in Game 2. Turns out, that was just what the Phillies needed as the series shifted home. Strider allowed a Harper home run in Game 1, a 3-0 Phillies win.

October 11 - PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Phillies were in control for the first 14 innings of their National League Division Series against the Atlanta Braves. The final four innings of Game 2 were so calamitous for the Phillies that the series' momentum swung entirely to Atlanta. "As I've said many times, this is a tough team, resilient team," Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Tuesday. "I mean, he's as good as there is in the game," Braves manager Brian Snitker said of Riley. That includes a 2-0 mark against the Braves in last year's NLDS en route to a World Series berth.
