Trea Turner

In a bases-loaded situation for the third time in the game, the Mets finally capitalized in the sixth. With the Phillies up 1-0, Jeff Hoffman loaded the bases with no outs before getting an easy grounder to short. Trea Turner opted to get the lone out at home rather than take an easy double play. That kept the bases loaded, and after Carlos Estevez came on as Hoffman's replacement, Lindor delivered the decisive blow. The Phillies never responded, finishing the game with just four hits. In all, they totaled 24 hits in the series, 11 of those coming off the bats of Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos. Lindor's homer was his first of this postseason and seventh in 35 career games in October.

Brandon Marsh is moving to center field for the contest, and Johan Rojas will retreat to the bench. Wilson was a solid surprise for the Phillies in 2024, and now will get a chance to make an impact in a must-win game for Philadelphia. The full lineup: DH Kyle Schwarber, SS Trea Turner, 1B Bryce Harper, RF Nick Castellanos, 3B Alec Bohm, C J.T. Realmuto, 2B Bryson Stott, LF Wilson and CF Marsh.

Bohm was benched for Game 2 against New York, but even after going hitless off the bench the 28-year-old will be back on the hot corner against southpaw Sean Manaea. Edmundo Sosa is still in the lineup with Bryson Stott sitting against the left-hander, and Austin Hays gets the start in left with Brandon Marsh on the bench to begin play. The full lineup for Philadelphia as they look to take a 2-1 series lead: DH Kyle Schwarber, SS Trea Turner, 1B Bryce Harper, RF Nick Castellanos, 3B Bohm, C J.T. Realmuto, LF Austin Hays, 2B Sosa, and CF Johan Rojas.

Both steals came in the first inning; one when the Mets basically told him third base was open if he wanted it. It's still nice to see the 31-year-old run after he "only" picked up 19 steals in the regular season. We'll see if this is a sign of things to come for the Philadelphia postseason run.
