The teams kicked off their series at a raucous Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday night.
Philadelphia Phillies' Zack Wheeler pitches during the third inning of Game 1 in an NL wild-card baseball playoff series against the Miami Marlins, Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2023, in Philadelphia. APbefore the 2020 season, then-Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen quipped he was happy Wheeler could parlay two good half-seasons over the last five years into an $118-million contract.
In the three Game 1s - including the wild card round against the St. Louis Cardinals and NLCS versus San Diego last year - Wheeler has allowed one run in 20 innings. Jose Alvarado threw a wild pitch, putting the tying run in scoring position, but struck out pinch-hitter Yuli Gurriel to send the Phillies to the eighth with a 3-1 lead. Wheeler gave up five hits, one run, didn’t walk a batter and struck out eight.
Nick Castellanos’ RBI double in the eighth scored Harper - who correctly ran through the stop sign of third-base coach Dusty Wathan - for a key insurance run. Craig Kimbrel finished the game off with his eighth postseason save. The Phillies really cracked Luzardo in the fourth, scoring twice and having a runner thrown out at the plate on a shaky base-running night. Bryson Stott knocked in J.T. Realmuto - with Castellanos thrown out on the back end - and Cristian Pache singled in a run toLuzardo was done at the end of the fourth inning, having allowed nine hits and thrown 90 pitches - though was fortunate the Marlins were still in the game.
