Philly rode the energy of its home crowd to a four-run frame in the fifth and never looked back. Key stat: The under is 4-1 when these teams played at Citizens Bank Park in 2022.

When the left-hander Ranger Suárez closed out the final two outs of the ninth inning, the Phillies were going to the World Series. There appeared to be a brief opening when Jake Cronenworth’s leadoff single in the seventh drove Wheeler from the game. Harper reached out and belted it the opposite way, over the left-field wall, and all of Philadelphia seemed to erupt. Hoskins, who crushed his third two-run homer in two games in the third inning. And the right-hander Wheeler, who again kept the Padres in check. It was a 96-mile-per-hour fastball from Wheeler, and the left-handed-hitting Soto drove it 439 feet over the center-field fence. to earn a playoff spot this season, celebrated in the late afternoon chill. PHILADELPHIA — The wind swept in, the skies went dark and the afternoon turned soggy, but nothing was going to stand in the way of the party. Of course, that is about to be sternly tested when the World Series begins. They will play either the Houston Astros or the Yankees in the 118th World Series, which is scheduled to begin on Friday.

So I was just trying to take the best swing that I could and I was able to do damage with it.” “My teammates, they keep going every day,” Harper said on the field after the game. Realmuto singled to lead off the eighth. Harper’s dramatic blast gave the Phillies a one-run lead in a “[Padres reliever Robert Suarez] beat me with the heater when we were in San Diego, so I was just trying to stay on that pitch. The Phillies simply would not lose.

Harper's two-run homer in the eighth inning boosted Philadelphia to a 4-3 win in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series.

The Padres may have contributed to that sense by not bringing in Josh Hader, arguably the most unhittable reliever in the game, and instead sticking with Suarez, who was in his second inning of work. Spring was miserable for the Phillies, who went two months without seeing the sunny side of .500 and got their manager fired. Had the Padres won Sunday, the teams would have reconvened in San Diego on Monday night. The go-ahead run scored on the third wild pitch of the inning by Phillies reliever Seranthony Domínguez — equaling the number of wild pitches he threw in the entire regular season, spanning 51 innings. Because the postseason schedule was condensed — fallout from the owners’ lockout, which delayed the start of the season — the traditional travel day between Games 5 and 6 of the championship series was wiped out. Beyond straightaway center, between the Stars and Stripes and a giant LED Liberty Bell that lights up after Phillies homers and wins, there were a pair of red flags flapping in the blustery wind — representing the only World Series titles in franchise history, from 1980 and 2008. Suddenly, the Padres led by a run. But carrying that lead home would prove a harrowing task, owing to the Padres’ resilience and the deteriorating elements. He was referring to the number of wins remaining to secure the championship. The tying run, charged to Wheeler, scored on an RBI by Padres designated hitter Josh Bell, who laced a double to right off Domínguez. Those 87 regular season wins were good enough for the Phillies to sneak into the postseason as the sixth seed — a prize that didn’t even exist until this year’s playoff expansion. Flying through that mist, barely airborne long enough to get wet, was a rocket-launched baseball bound for the bleachers in left-center field.

The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the San Diego Padres 4-3 in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series on Sunday to advance to the World Series ...

The 30-year-old has never played in a World Series throughout his storied career. [Bryce Harper](/mlb/players/1688) played hero in the eighth inning, hitting a go-ahead, two-run homer. "We got off to a little bit of a slow start, but they hung in there. This is all for them. Philadelphia took down the St. [David Robertson](https://www.thescore.com/mlb/players/372) walked two hitters following a strikeout of [Wil Myers](https://www.thescore.com/mlb/players/1672).

On the back of a Bryce Harper two-run homer in the eighth inning, the Phillies topped the Padres 4-3 on Sunday in Game 5 to advance to the World Series.

That was in the seventh inning. That was in the sixth inning. Jake Cronenworth was the first batter he faced in the second inning, and he lined out to third on the first pitch. He located a couple of rocks and placed them side-by-side on the threshold of the fence opening. Both throws needed to be perfect to get Hoskins on the back end because he was out by the width of a Dr. There are some things that Statcast doesn’t track, and that’s one of them, but it was a perfect, hard throw to Jake Cronenworth, who fired a perfect, hard throw to first to complete the double play. The Padres are also trying to punch the Phillies’ ticket to the World Series, but they’re trying to punch it right in the face, trying to daze it long enough to get back to San Diego. He recovered to strike out Brandon Drury for the first out of the inning, though, and he looked even better with a perfectly placed 98-mph fastball to strike out Ha-Seong Kim for the second out. The Padres got a ball out of the infield, everyone! In the past, going to the bullpen meant doom for the Phillies. He wriggled out of the inning, though, which meant the Phillies could enter the bottom of the eighth with just a one-run deficit. He was with the Yankees then, and it was a long, long time ago.

The Padres and Phillies squared off in NLCS Game 4 on Saturday night, and with it came baseball history. Dubious history, but history nonetheless.

The other time was Game 4 of the 1932 World Series, when Guy Bush of the [Cubs](https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/teams/CHC/chicago-cubs/) lasted 1/3 of an inning and Johnny Allen of the [Yankees](https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/teams/NYY/new-york-yankees/) went 2/3 of an inning.

Baker, in his 25th season as a Major League manager, has led five clubs to the postseason -- the Giants, Cubs, Reds, Nationals and Astros. Yordan Alvarez, following his great start to the playoffs with two homers, including a walk-off in Game 1 of the ALDS against the Mariners, proceeded to go 2-for-19 before a delivering a game-tying single late in ALCS Game 4. And both enter the 2022 World Series without a ring. A few hours later, the Astros [polished off a sweep of the Yankees](https://www.mlb.com/news/astros-win-alcs-2022) with a 6-5 win in the Bronx to reach the World Series for the fourth time in the last six years. But the way Wheeler and Nola have pitched this postseason, aside from Nola’s rough outing in NLCS Game 2, it’s not a big stretch to imagine the Phils stealing two games in Houston. Will he continue to fuel the Phillies’ Cinderella run all the way to a World Series championship? Peña, who’s hitting .303 so far in the playoffs, was named ALCS MVP and appears to be as relaxed as someone who is in his third or fourth postseason, let alone his first. Schwarber will be playing in his second World Series after winning it all with the Cubs in 2016. It helps, of course, that Peña and others have stepped up, but even a club as good as this one will be hard-pressed to win it all with virtually no offensive contributions from Altuve. For Philadelphia, this is unfamiliar territory -- the Phils haven’t played in the World Series in 13 years. Harper has been in the spotlight ever since he made the cover of Sports Illustrated as a 16-year-old phenom. The matchup for the 118th World Series is set.
