October 23, 2022 (Philadelphia) - The Phillies went for it all today with Yu Darvish on the mound against Zack Wheeler for the Phillies.

Rhys Hoskins picked up where he left off last night in the third with a two-run jack to left and the Phillies led 2-0 after three.

 

Juan Soto reduced the lead to one with a solo blast to right center in the fourth and the Phillies led 2-1 after four.

 

Josh Bell saved the day for the Padres in the seventh with a double that scored Jake Cronenworth.  José Azocar gave the Padres their first lead by scoring on a wild pitch and the Padres led 3-2 after seven.

 

But if Hoskins wasn’t giving the Padres a hard time, it was Bryce Harper.  The king smashed a two-run homer in the eighth and just like that, the Padres’ incredible playoff run comes to an end with a heartbreaking 4-3 loss.  See you in spring training.
