PHILADELPHIA — After a stunning defeat of the Atlanta Braves, the Philadelphia Phillies are taking their home field advantage into the next round.
By virtue of being the highest seed remaining in the National League, the Phillies will host the first two games of the National League Championship Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Games 3 through 5 will see the series switch to Chase Field in Phoenix.
Of course, if the series would need a sixth or seventh game to complete, those would also be played in Philadelphia.
We got a preview of tonight's series opener in Philadelphia.
