He tossed one-hit ball over seven shutout innings in an NL Wild Card Series win over the Mets and followed up with six solid innings to help beat the Dodgers in the NLCS. The 29-year-old Musgrove has been the postseason ace for the Padres, the team he grew up rooting for as a California kid. Musgrove pitched out of another jam in the second when Bryson Stott, who hit a one-out double, was stranded on third. Musgrove threw 22 pitches without an out, then needed only pitches two pitches to get three outs. Harper, though, hit into a double play and Musgrove retired Nick Castellanos on a grounder to escape further damage. The Phillies fans - another sellout crowd of 45,279 went wild on every pitch - were frothing when Bryce Harper came to hit. Musgrove acknowledged this week that he had been “beaten down by the crowds” early in his postseason career. The Phillies seemed poised to jump on Musgrove in the inning after Hoskins and J.T Realmuto walked. Schwarber, who led the National League with 46 homers, also hit a jaw-dropping, 488-foot solo drive in Game 1. Schwarber worked a full count and then smashed his second solo homer of the series into the right field seats. The Phillies brought it against Musgrove from the first batter. ![]()
