The Diamondbacks made Citizen’s Bank Park go quiet and forced a Game 7. They scored four off the previously unhittable Aaron Nola and added one late. Plus, the pitching was dominant. Besides a run in the second inning, Merrill Kelly and bullpen relievers were fantastic. Diamondbacks won 5-1.

Here are some fan reactions to this important win:
It started in the 2nd inning, Arizona, who hadn’t been able to touch Nola, got him for three runs, including back-to-back homers from Tommy Pham and Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
TOMMY PHAM 🤝 LOURDES GURRIEL JR. HR‼️
DBACKS GO BACK-TO-BACK TO GIVE THEM THE EARLY LEAD 😲

At the start of the year if you told me Tommy Pham would homer and Max Scherzer would be pitching a Game 7, I’d think the #Mets finally got over the hump 😢

Everyone shoulda known Tommy Pham was going to homer #NLCS

Then Evan Longoria hit a double to make it 3-0.

Evan Longoria and Tommy Pham getting clutch base hits in playoffs in 2023, imagine that.

Merrill Kelly looked amazing, he went 5 innings only allowing one run. However, he was taken out after 5, and looked visibly angry.

Lovullo taking out Merrill Kelly aftwr he struck out 2 of their best hitters and was having a great start to the game has to go down as one of the dumbest decisions Lovullo has made this post season out of the many hes made https://t.co/SSga6hH0eG

But, it didn’t matter, as the bullpen stepped up and the Diamondbacks forced a Game 7.

My Diamondbacks are 1 win away from their second World Series.
I thought they would be a 50-60 win team this year, BOY WAS I WRONG.#EmbraceTheChaos— DrSublime (@DrSublime) October 24, 2023
We will see you tomorrow night.
