The Arizona Diamondbacks and Philadelphia Phillies will meet for game seven of the National League Championship Series on Tuesday at Citizens Bank Park. First pitch is scheduled for 8:07 p.m. ET.
Arizona (91-81 SU and 92-79 RL) is starting right-hander Brandon Pfaadt. The 25-year-old is 0-0 with a 2.13 ERA and 0.95 WHIP this postseason (three starts).
Philadelphia (98-75 SU and 80-92 RL) is expected to counter with left-hander Ranger Suárez. The 28-year-old is 1-0 with a 0.64 ERA and 0.64 WHIP in his three postseason outings.
Arizona staved off elimination in game seven. The D-Backs jumped out to a 3-0 lead and held on for the season-saving victory. Can they finish the job in game seven, earning their first World Series appearance since 2001?
The Diamondbacks scored 4.60 runs (14th) and hit .250 (14th) with a .730 OPS (17th) during the regular season. They launched 166 long balls (22nd) and stole 166 bases (2nd). The AZ pitching staff compiled a 4.48 ERA (20th) and a 1.32 WHIP (19th) with 57 quality starts (13th).
Pfaadt will take the hill for the Diamondbacks in the NLCS finale. The rookie, who was 3-9 with a 5.72 ERA during the regular season, held Philadelphia scoreless in game three, fanning nine batters in 5.2 frames. He also held the Dodgers scoreless in 4.2 innings in the NLDS. Can he sustain his momentum when it matters?
