Phillies vs. Diamondbacks: Live updates, highlights from NLCS Game 7 with World Series spot up for grabs

A World Series spot is on the line Tuesday night as the Philadelphia Phillies host the Arizona Diamondbacks in NLCS Game 7. With the National League Championship Series tied at 3-3, the two teams will play one last game at Citizens Bank Park to determine who advances to the 2023 Fall Classic to face the AL champion Texas Rangers. Here’s how to watch Game 7.

In this high-stakes encounter, the Diamondbacks started rookie right-hander Brandon Pfaadt, and he opposed Phillies lefty Ranger Suárez. Both starters were done by the fifth inning. Pfaadt allowed two runs in four innings of work, while Suárez was charged with three earned runs in 4 2/3 innings after the D-backs scored two in the fifth. Managers Rob Thomson and Torey Lovullo will be aggressive in using their bullpens in this winner-take-all affair, and that includes perhaps using their rotation aces in relief roles. All hands on deck, as the saying goes. 

D-backs star rookie Corbin Carroll had three hits in his first three at-bats, including an RBI single. He also stole two bases and added a sacrifice fly in the seventh to give Arizona a 4-2 lead. The Phillies’ offense has been paced by Alec Bohm, who hit his first home run of the playoffs in the second inning (a solo shot) and scored on a Bryson Stott double in the fourth.
