Tommy Pham and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit back-to-back homers and Merrill Kelly struck out eight to help the Arizona Diamondbacks force Game 7 of the NL Championship Series with a 5-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night.
The winner of Tuesday night's game advances to the World Series against Houston or Texas, who played Game 7 of the AL Championship later Monday night.
The Phillies were held to six hits and lost at home for the first time in seven home postseason games. They dropped Games 4 and 5 to Houston in the World Series but had won 11 straight postseason home games against NL opposition. Make it 3-1. The Diamondbacks, who lost the first two games of the NLCS, never had to worry about the kind of late-inning rallies that propelled them back into the series.
