Ugh, top of the 5th, Fightins get guys on 2nd & 3rd with no out. Schwarber with a long at-bat, but he struck out on a nice pitch (fastball, just outside the zone, that he couldn't take with 2 strikes), then Harper pops out to short right field on the 1st pitch. Then Marsh gets a strike on him because he wasn't addressing the pitcher in time (seemed weak), then he took the next pitch for a strike, and then struck out on a slider (I think) that was low and outside. How do you not score a run there when your 2, 3, and 4 hitters are at the plate?
After blowing a bunch of opportunities to tack on more runs, JT goes yard for a solo HR against Kershaw in the top of the 8th.
4-1, Fightins, with runners on 2nd & 3rd, and 1 out.
And Turner with a single, to make it 6-1.

The Phillies have been a streaky team so hopefully this begins a long streak.
Schwarber follows with another HR to also drive in Turner, making it 8-1, Fightins in the top of the 8th.
Instant observations: Kyle Schwarber, Phillies come alive to win Game 3, extend NLDS vs. Dodgers
Kyle Schwarber homered twice, Ranger Suárez was aces in relief, and the Phillies are still breathing.
