By the eighth inning, Phillies outfielder Jake Cave had entirely lost track of the score.
“A lot to nothing,” he says. “I knew we were shutting ’em out and we were scoring a ton of runs.”
That sums it up at least as well as the scoreboard did: Phillies 10, Diamondbacks 0. Philadelphia now holds a 2–0 lead in the National League Championship Series, which will resume Thursday in Phoenix. Another two wins will send the Phillies to their second straight World Series.
