After splitting the first two games in San Diego, the National League Championship Series shifts to Philadelphia for the next three games. The Phillies blanked the Padres in Game 1 and took an early 4-0 lead in Game 2 before the Padres’ bats came alive and scored eight runs to even the series. After a travel day yesterday, the series resumes in Philly on Friday night. The Phillies will send lefty Ranger Suarez to the mound opposite Joe Musgrove for the Padres. Game 3 starts today at 7:37 pm ET (4:37 pm PT) on FS1.
