Joe DeCamara: Alright, Phillies fans, settle in! Citizens Bank Park is buzzing today as your Philadelphia Phillies take on the New York Mets in Game 3 of this Division Series. And boy, oh boy, it was an offensive explosion from the home team!
Jon Ritchie: Absolutely, Joe. Vince Brown was the guy you couldn’t take your eyes off today. The DH went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, drove in three, and scored three times. He’s single-handedly keeping the Phillies alive in this series!
Joe: And don’t sleep on the rest of the lineup. Worboys with three hits and two RBIs, Porch adding two hits and a run scored, Branscome doing his thing at shortstop—two singles, two RBIs. The Phillies just kept piling it on, 13 runs, 12 hits, clean on defense, no errors.
Jon: Yeah, the Mets tried to hang around, a few bright spots—Alicea with a home run and three RBIs, Huerta with a pair of RBIs—but overall, they just couldn’t contain this Phillies offense. E. Hoelzle on the mound for Philly did enough, 7.1 innings, five runs allowed, six strikeouts. He managed to keep them just enough in check to let the bats do the talking.
Joe: That’s right, Jon. Mets manager Lamar Craig said it best: “We lost, we’ll deal with it.” But the series isn’t over yet. Phillies now have a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five. Game 4, same park, tomorrow—if the Phillies keep swinging like this, it’s going to be a long day for New York.
Jon: And the fans know it! Attendance of nearly 39,000 today, atmosphere electric. Phillies 13, Mets 5—Vince Brown, Player of the Game, and Philly is one win away from the League Championship Series.
Joe: Hang on tight, folks… this series is heating up, and the Phillies are making sure you’re paying attention!
