Brandon Pfaadt, D-backs attempt to slow Phillies in Game 3 of NLCS
Rookie Brandon Pfaadt has a daunting task on his hands Thursday when the Arizona Diamondbacks bid to subdue the homer-happy Philadelphia Phillies in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series in Phoenix.
"I think the ballpark and fans play a big factor. When you look at Philadelphia, it's pretty extreme," Pfaadt said."In the DS, it was extreme when we played here, so I think bringing the momentum on our side and bringing our fans is gonna be big." The Diamondbacks won that contest to complete a sweep of the Dodgers in the NLDS. Arizona followed that up by batting just .129 and striking out 23 times over the first two games in Philadelphia.
Phillies manager Rob Thomson did not reveal his starting pitcher for Game 4. For now, he'll see how left-hander Ranger Suarez fares Thursday.
