(Philadelphia) Rhys Hoskins scored twice and the Philadelphia Phillies came from behind to defeat the San Diego Padres 10-6 Saturday night.
Kyle Schwarber and JT Realmuto also hit a long ball for the Phillies, who led 3-1 in this National Championship series.
The Phillies are aiming to become the first team in Major League history to advance to the World Series after finishing third in their division.
Bryce Harper hit a double to put the Phillies ahead for good. The ace remained standing at second base, shouting that Citizens Bank Park was his home.

With one more win, it will also be home to at least two World Series games.
The Phillies will send ace Zack Wheeler to the mound for Game 5 Sunday in Philadelphia. They will try to win the national title for the first time since 2009 and have not won the World Series since 2008.
The Phillies were down 4-0 in the first inning when they discreetly made runs. The turning point came in a fifth inning in the fourth race at the expense of the reliever Sean Manaea.
Down 6-4, the Pennsylvania team began the comeback with a walk awarded to Schwarber. Hoskins then catapulted a kick into the stands. A hike to Realmuto set the stage for Harper’s productive success.
Nick Castellanos pushed Harper home in a single to complete the scoring in the fifth inning. In the sixth, Schwarber shot a ball to center for his third home of the series. Realmuto put the finishing touches to a solo slap in the seventh.
Phillies manager Rob Thomson picked Bailey Falter as the starter for Game 4 after a 17-day hiatus. The southpaw took out the first two hitters, but Manny Machado hit left.
Falter allowed the next two hitters to hit the trails and Brandon Drury hit a two-run double to give the Padres a 3-0 lead. Falter’s work of the night was over. The reliever Connor Brogdon allowed a one-run single for Ha-Seong Kim.
Fathers incumbent Mike Clevinger fared a little better. He allowed a single late in the first inning and Hoskins hit his first homer of the night to reduce the deficit to 4-2.
Clevinger defeated Realmuto and Harper hit a double-run to make it 4-3. The Padres starter was removed from the game without even removing an opponent.
Bryson Stott equalized 4-4 in the fourth inning when his left single sent Castellanos to the plate.
The Fathers responded in the fifth round. Jurickson Profar was on the trails when Juan Soto hit a resounding home run over the right field fence.
At that point, the visitors held a 6-4 lead, but things turned sour later and that was the beginning of the end.
