Daily News | Phillies take a 2-1 lead in the NLCS with a 4-2 victory over the Padres
fans, and listen to the story of an infielder who made a costly error one inning and delivered a decisive hit in his next at-bat in a pivotal game in the National League Championship Series.No, this isn’t about the late Kim Batiste, whose goat-to-hero turn in Game 1 of the 1993 NLCS earned him a forever entry in Phillies lore.
But in the bottom of the fourth, after Alec Bohm’s two-out single and Stott’s double on a seven-pitch at-bat against Padres starter Joe Musgrove, Segura reached out and hooked a low-and-away slider over second baseman Jake Cronenworth’s head and into right field for a two-run single that restored a 3-1 lead and turned out to be the difference in the game.
There were other storylines from Game 3. Although the Phillies and Padres could potentially play five games in as many days before the series is decided, Thomson said he would remain aggressive with his bullpen usage. True to his word, he removed Suárez after five innings and turned to circle-of-trust relievers Eflin, Alvarado, and Domínguez. He may need them Saturday, too, especially with the Phillies planning a bullpen game.
