Alas and alack, Moreno exited Game 3 with a right hand contusion after being hit by a foul tip. Wednesday's homer was his third of the postseason. It sure looks like he's figuring out how to get the ball airborne consistently now. He always displayed tremendous bat-to-ball ability in the minors, but he hit a ton of ground balls. They had 14 homers through five postseason games. The D-Backs have hit four homers in an inning just once in the regular season in their history, according to ESPN, and their 13 homers are the second most ever through a team's first five postseason games. Walker and Moreno went back-to-back, and Moreno went deep one pitch after a near-homer that sliced just foul. Geraldo Perdomo, Ketel Marte, Christian Walker, and Gabriel Moreno all took Lance Lynn deep. In the third inning the D-backs - the D-backs! - became the first team in baseball history to hit four home runs in a single postseason inning. Here now are our takeaways from Arizona's Game 3 win over the Dodgers. They want that series to go the full five games so their NLCS opponent gets worn out. The Phillies lead that best-of-five series 2-1, though the D-Backs will surely root for the Braves on Thursday. They will take on either the Atlanta Braves or Philadelphia Phillies in the NLCS. The Dodgers won 100 games during the regular season and zero in the postseason.įor the D-backs, this is their first trip to the NLCS since 2007, when they got swept by the Colorado Rockies. Wednesday night at Chase Field, the D-backs used a historic third inning to finish the three-game Division Series sweep of the NL West rival Los Angeles Dodgers ( ARI 4, LAD 2). The Arizona Diamondbacks are heading to the National League Championship Series.
