The National League Championship Series picks up in Philadelphia on Thursday as the Phillies host the Padres in Game 3. After a dramatic five-run fifth inning, the Padres evened the series Tuesday in San Diego with their 8-5 win.
The Phillies claimed an early 4-0 lead but the Padres rallied against Aaron Nola and Philadelphia’s bullpen. The Padres scored eight straight runs, claiming the lead for good in their five-run fifth inning that put them ahead, 7-4.
Philadelphia now returns home, where it bested Atlanta in both games to claim its spot in the NLCS.
