The Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> live to play another day in the NLDS, taking Game Three against the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a>, 8\u20132. in a must-win scenario. The Phillies’ offense came out firing in an elimination game to extend their postseason. For the first time in this series, the Dodgers were unable to match their offensive output, and the Phillies now look to carry this momentum into Game Four.<\/p>\n The Dodgers struck first with a solo shot by Tommy Edman<\/strong><\/a> in the third, but the tides changed from there, and the Phillies never looked back. In the top of the fourth, Kyle Schwarber<\/a><\/strong> made a long-overdue appearance in this series with a solo home run. He entered this game hitless in the postseason.<\/p>\n Bryce Harper<\/strong><\/a>, who had also been silent this series, followed up with a single. Alec Bohm<\/strong><\/a> then hit a single, and an errant throw by Andy Pages<\/strong><\/a> put Bohm on third and scored Harper. Brandon Marsh<\/strong><\/a> hit a sac-fly that plated Bohm, making the score 3\u20131. The Phillies were able to get to Yoshinobu Yamamoto<\/strong><\/a> early, and that made all the difference in this game.<\/p>\n Before this game, Yamamoto pitched eight straight starts with four or fewer hits allowed, with a scoreless streak of 24 consecutive innings. The Phillies got four hits in that inning.<\/p>\n Ranger Suarez<\/strong><\/a> relieved Aaron Nola<\/strong><\/a> in the third and gave up a first-pitch bomb to Edman. From that point on, he was in complete control. He quickly settled in and silenced the Dodger lineup for the rest of his outing. Even when the Dodgers got runners in scoring position, he shut them down, giving the Phillies much-needed momentum. He withdrew from the game in the eighth with 5 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 4 K, 1 BB.<\/p>\nPhillies-Dodgers Game Summary<\/h2>\n
