With the Astros, Rangers and Diamondbacks all clinching their spots in baseball’s final four, one more spot is up for grabs. The Phillies will try to snag it Thursday night at Citizens Bank Park.
Philadelphia took Game 3, 10-2, from the 104-win Braves and now sits on the doorstep of its second NLCS berth in a row. They’ll try to clinch a date with Arizona with lefty Ranger Suárez on the mound opposite Braves righty Spencer Strider. Those pitchers matched up in Game 1 on Saturday with the Phils taking home a 3-0 victory in Atlanta. The Braves will try to send the series back to Truist Park for a decisive Game 5 on Saturday night.
