The Arizona Diamondbacks and Philadelphia Phillies meet Tuesday to continue their best-of-7 NL Championship Series. First pitch in Game 2 at Citizens Bank Park is at 8:07 p.m. ET (TBS).

Series: Phillies lead 1-0

Arizona got to the NLCS by sweeping the Milwaukee Brewers 2-0 in a Wild Card series and the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-0 in an NL Division Series. The Diamondbacks tasted their 1st postseason loss Monday, culling together just 4 hits in losing 5-3 in Philadelphia.

The Phillies are 7-1 with a plus-31 run differential in October. They have good things going on the mound (October ERA of 1.52) and at the plate (.911 OPS in October). Philadelphia is also playing well at home in front of a frenzied fan base. The Phils are 11-1 at home since Sept. 21.
