It was a comeback. The Arizona Diamondbacks came from behind to win Game 1 of the National League Championship Series (NLCS).

The Diamondbacks hosted the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 3 of the NLCS on April 20 at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona.

Arizona had dropped the previous two games in Philadelphia. A loss would have put their chances of advancing to the World Series near zero.

This was the closest game of Game 3 of the NLCS for Arizona. Rookie Brandon Potts pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings.

Despite the offense giving up 5 1/3 scoreless innings to Philadelphia starter Ranger Suarez, the game remained tied at zero thanks to Potts.

The balance was broken in the seventh inning. Arizona drew a walk to put runners on first and second with one out, but Ryan Thompson was hit by a wild pitch.

With momentum threatening to slip away, Arizona answered right back in the top of the seventh with a Tommy Pham single followed by a Luerdes Gurriel Jr. RBI single to tie the game at 1-1.토토사이트

However, the Cats were unable to capitalize on the comeback opportunity as they stranded runners at first and third with no outs.

Arizona then had runners on second and third with no outs in the top of the ninth to force a minimum of extra innings. The game could have gone to the wire.

Arizona’s first batter, Emmanuel Rivera, hit an infield grounder to short, and third baseman Gurriel Jr. was thrown out trying to force home.

However, Arizona loaded the bases with a walk to Heraldo Perdomo, followed by Ketel Marte’s game-winning RBI single to win the game 2-1.

Paul Seawald, who pitched a scoreless ninth inning for Arizona, got the win, while Craig Kimbrel, who got the final out, took the loss.

Although he took the no-decision, Potts was the surprise of the game for the rookie, who pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings and struck out nine.

The Phillies, on the other hand, saw their hot-hitting offense shut down by Potts, dropping a 1-2 decision after a 10-0 win in the previous game.

The two teams will now meet in Game 4 of the NLCS at the same venue on April 21. It will be interesting to see if Arizona can get the NLCS back on track.
