The Diamondbacks finally hold the Phillies down — and take advantage of slow-working Craig Kimbrel in the ninth inning for a 2-1 win that trims their series deficit to 2-1.
Pavin Smith comes home with the winning run on Ketel Marte's ninth-inning single off Craig Kimbrel in Game 3 of the NLCS. The Diamondbacks' win trimmed the Phillies series lead to 2-1. Craig Kimbrel is second among active pitchers in career saves. He has been the closer on a World Series winner. But he is not, the Philadelphia Phillies learned when they signed him as a free agent before this year, a quick worker.
But the 35-year-old has been the one part of this Phillies team that has felt less-than-certain at times in this postseason. He has allowed at least one base runner in all but one outing. He has struck out just two batters in 4⅓ innings. Then Pfaadt did something unthinkable. He didn’t allow a single Phillie to reach base in the fifth inning, either, going so far as to strike out Nick Castellanos — he of the five home runs in three games this month — for the second time in two tries.To the extent that there was trouble for Pfaadt, it took the form of Phillies starter Ranger Suarez, who was doing the same thing to the Diamondbacks through five innings. But that was the only trouble Pfaadt found.
