All season, Kyle Schwarber has set the tone for the Philadelphia Phillies’ offense. He had a monster regular season smashing a career-high 56 home runs in leading the team to a National League East title. The playoffs apparently are no different. After going hitless in the first two games of the series in Philly – both losses – the veteran crushed a fourth inning pitch from Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game 3 almost out of Dodger Stadium. That tied the game at one and from there the Phillies rolled to an 8-2 win to claw back into their Best-of-5 series against the Dodgers.
Los Angeles still leads the series two games to one, but did that one mighty swing steal the momentum of the series? Expect an answer to that question tonight as the two teams take the field in Southern California for Game 4. Game 1 starter Cristopher Sánchez is slated to take the mound for Philadelphia against Game 1 reliever Tyler Glasnow of Los Angeles.
Lets dive into Game 4 and see what the numbers tell us.
