Ketel Marte smacked a bases-loaded single in the ninth inning to drive in the winning run as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat Philadelphia 2-1 on Thursday, Oct. 19, in the Major League Baseball playoffs.
Ketel Marte of the Arizona Diamondbacks celebrates with his teammates after hitting an RBI single against Craig Kimbrel of the Philadelphia Phillies to win Game Three of the National League Championship Series at Chase Field on Thursday, Oct. 19, in Phoenix, Arizona.
At Texas, Jose Abreu blasted a three-run home run and Chas McCormick belted a two-run homer to help the defending champion Houston Astros win 10-3 and level the American League Championship Series at 2-2 with game five Friday at Texas. At Phoenix, the D-backs avoided falling to the brink of elimination, serving notice after two road losses they were not fading quietly.

Harper took second base on an infield hit by Alec Bohm, reached third when Bryson Stott grounded into a double play and raced home for the first run on a wild pitch by Thompson, an off-target slider.
Philadelphia's Ranger Suarez, a Venezuelan left-hander, was masterful as well, striking out seven while scattering three hits over 5 1/3 shutout innings.Altuve hit a leadoff double and took third on a Dubon single. Alex Bregman smacked a two-run triple to centerfield and scored himself on a Yordan Alvarez single -- all before the Rangers managed an out.
