The bullpen parade begins for the Blue Jays. Louie Varland got four outs and departs after hitting Paul Goldschmidt with a two-strike sinker. Lefty Mason Fluharty comes in to face Austin Wells (lefty), Anthony Volpe (righty), Ryan McMahon (lefty), and Trent Grisham (lefty). It's 1-0 Toronto here in the second.

As columnist Marcus Hayes pointed out, the Phillies Big Five bombers — Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, Trea Turner, J.T. Realmuto, and Nick Castellanos — are hitting just .171 with zero home runs and 13 strikeouts in the first two games of the NLDS

The Chicago Cubs’ offense broke out in the first inning to put up four runs that would hold in a 4-3 victory to force an NLDS Game 4 on Thursday at Wrigley Field.
