The Arizona Diamondbacks are back in the National League Championship Series for the first time since 2007. Now they know who they're going to face. The Philadelphia Phillies are back in the NLCS for a second straight year after beating the Braves in four games of the best-of-five series.
Arizona Diamondbacks’ Christian Walker celebrates his home run with teammate Lourdes Gurriel Jr. during the third inning in Game 3 of a baseball NL Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2023, in Phoenix. Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitchers Merrill Kelly, left, and Brandon Pfaadt work out Friday, Oct. 13, 2023, at Chase Field in Phoenix as the team prepares to play against the Philadelphia Phillies in the baseball NL Championship Series.
Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker — who grew up in suburban Philadelphia — said watching the Phillies make it deep in the postseason for a second straight year is impressive. Harper added to his postseason lore with two clutch homers in Game 3. Castellanos hit two solo homers Thursday. “If you make mistakes more than you don’t, then they’re probably going to beat you,” Kelly said. “If you don’t, then they’re still human, they’re still hitters, and if you make good pitches, they’ll get out, just like everyone else.”
