In the first game of an NLCS rematch series, the San Diego Padres jumped all over the Philadelphia Phillies for a final score of 8-3. The best word to describe the Phillies performance is flat, as they could only muster one run before the ninth inning and their pitchers allowed four home runs in a game for only the second time this season.
Anemic offense
The Phillies offense continued its trend from its last few games before the break of struggling to score runs with any consistency. Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm both doubled with two outs in the fourth to score the Phillies first run of the game.
