Underdog Diamondbacks Upset Heavily Favored Phillies To Reach World Series

Arizona Diamondbacks logo
  • The team with less talent, the one with less power and less stuff, with less experience and smaller salaries, the one no one saw coming, the one with a rookie pitcher starting and with 23-year-olds sprinkled throughout their roster — that team won Game 7 of the National League Championship Series on Tuesday night. That team is going to the World Series.
  • The Diamondbacks, who won just 84 games during the regular season, beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-2, punching their ticket to the World Series for the second time in club history by winning twice in as many nights at a hostile Citizens Bank Park.
  • The Diamondbacks will fly to Dallas on Wednesday, where they will face the Texas Rangers in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night at Globe Life Field.
