The Diamondbacks’ dominant NLCS Game 6 victory appeared to be too much for Phillies fans on Monday, as evidenced by the startling scene inside Citizens Bank Park near the game’s end.
A 5–1 Arizona lead entering the ninth inning cast much doubt on Philadelphia’s chances of a late-game rally to close out the series. Still, with one final frame to go, the Phillies had a chance to defy the odds and pull off the win despite an off night.
Unfortunately for the home team, the home crowd didn’t seem to have any remaining patience to wait for a potential comeback. Hordes of frustrated fans cleared the stands after the eighth inning ended.
