For the second day in a row, the Philadelphia Phillies had the tough task of staying alive against the Los Angeles Dodgers, who were losing 2-1 in their National League Division Series.

For the occasion, the representatives of the City of Brotherly Love sent Christopher Sanchez to the mound, while Los Angeles did the same with Tyler Glasnow.

And to say the least, both protagonists got the job done, with Sanchez and Glasnow pitching at least six complete innings.

The tie was then broken by Nick Castellanos' timely double that scored Max Kepler in the top of the seventh. But for a long time.

Indeed, in the next half inning, Mookie Betts set the record straight, courtesy of a bases-loaded walk.

The stalemate persisted until the bottom of the eleventh inning, when Andy Pages hit a weak drive to reliever Orion Kerkering with the bases loaded.

The Dodgers are off to the National League Championship Series and will await the outcome of the showdown between the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers. Game 1 is scheduled for Monday night.
