The Arizona Diamondbacks are in the National League Championship Series for the third time in franchise history, playing the Philadelphia Phillies.

Arizona sent out Zac Gallen for the first game in Philadelphia, hoping to get the NL Championship Series off to a good start. The right-hander fell into an early hole and the Diamondbacks never recovered. Arizona again turned to Gallen for Game 5 in the desert, anticipating a strong start that would give them a series lead heading back to Philadelphia.

Aaron Nola takes the ball in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series with a couple of familiar questions swirling around him. Can he pitch the Phillies one win closer to a World Series title? If not, might this be his last start in a Philadelphia uniform?

Arizona State's furthest Pac-12 road trip is to Seattle. But that is nothing compared to the trips that await in the Big 12.

Philadelphia spent most of the night taking advantage of Arizona’s moves in a bullpen game, building a three-run lead by the seventh inning. A bullpen meltdown of their own cost the Phillies a chance to take a commanding lead in the NL Championship Series. Craig Kimbrel gave up three runs in the eighth, including two on pinch-hitter Alek Thomas' tying homer into the Chase Field pool, and the Phillies lost 6-5 to the Diamondbacks on Friday to tie the NLCS at 2-all.
