The Diamondbacks win their first game of the NLCS in walk-off fashion. In a game that turned into a pitching duel, only one D-backs hitter came through time and time again. Ketel Marte was a beast. He went 3-5 with an RBI.

Here are some fan reactions from the craziest postseason game so far.
It started out with a pitcher’s duel. Brandon Pfaadt and Ranger Suarez both tossed incredible gems. Pfaadt set multiple records.
Absolutely incredible.

Brandon Pfaadt had one of the best starting pitcher moments in D’Backs history. Kid is gonna be a star.

Brandon Pfaadt is the fourth pitcher in Diamondbacks history to strike out nine in a playoff game.
The others: Brandon Webb, Curt Schilling and Randy Johnson.

Ranger Suarez was incredible, too.
Standing ovation from Phillies fans for Ranger Suárez

Now, no runs were scored until the seventh inning. Bryce Harper advanced home when Ryan Thompson threw a terrible pitch too far outside for Moreno to get it. However, the Answerbacks watched Lourdes Gurriel hit an RBI double immediately after.
