PHOENIX -- Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto each hit a home run and Zack Wheeler scattered six hits across seven innings in the Philadelphia Phillies' 6-1 victory Saturday night over the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series at Chase Field.
Arizona starter Zac Gallen , the loser in Game 1, retired 11 straight batters after allowing the Phillies to score two runs on three hits in the top of the first inning.
He broke the record for most home runs in NLCS history with his 11th, a solo blast that went 461 feet to right field. Schwarber had been tied at 10 with Albert Pujols. Two batters after Schwarber's blast Saturday, Harper hit a solo home run to roughly the same area in right field, a 444-foot blast. Arizona did not score in the first six innings against Wheeler despite having at least one baserunner in five of those innings.
