Kyle Schwarber ties Reggie Jackson mark as Phillies take 2-0 NLCS lead

PHILADELPHIA -- In Philadelphia, everyone refers to this month as Red October.

The exact definition is a little hazy, but let's settle on this one: It means home runs -- lots of home runs. Lots of loud home runs that increase in decibel level as the home fans realize the ball is soaring over the outfield fence.

Kyle Schwarber belted two of those booming blasts in Tuesday's 10-0 victory for the Philadelphia Phillies over the Arizona Diamondbacks, Trea Turner added a third one and the Phillies tacked on a bunch of runs late in the game to move two wins away from returning to the World Series.
