The Phillies are back in the big time
With their 4-3 Sunday night win over the San Diego Padres, the Philadelphia Phillies booked their place in the 2022 MLB World Series. Indeed, the Phillies came from behind in Game 5 of the NLCS to clinch the National League’s pennant and the chance to face the Houston Astros who swept the New York Yankees over in the ALCS. The win, is yet another punctuation point on what has been an ever-improving performance by the Phillies across the postseason.
