The Phillies defeated the Diamondbacks 6-1 in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series.
PHOENIX — does not look like a prototypical leadoff hitter. He struck out more than any player in this season. He has not played the field once this postseason. He runs the bases like Barney Rubble. He is bearded and brawny, the sort of compact slugger once destined to spend his career batting in the cleanup spot. Advertisement Perhaps the prototype of the leadoff hitter should change.
“They take things personal,” Lovullo said Arizona tied the series in Game 4. “They have a chip on their shoulder. I know their backup catcher made a statement about sprinting towards the pool or making a beeline to the pool.” Lovullo suggested that after Stubbs’s comment made the rounds, his players were “motivated by that, externally. And they’re motivated to be as good as they possibly can, internally.” Advertisement Gallen did not need to look far for motivation.
