Phillies aim to oust D-backs, return to World Series
No team this month has played better at home than the Philadelphia Phillies, who have a chance Monday to do their part to create a rare World Series rematch.The Phillies will look to clinch their second straight National League pennant while the Diamondbacks will attempt to extend their season Monday, when Philadelphia hosts Arizona in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series.
The Astros and Phillies are aiming to create the first World Series rematch since the New York Yankees defeated the Dodgers in 1977 and '78. "We have to play the game Monday and get back to Philly where we like to play," Wheeler said."I know they're going to be very excited for it." Arizona reached the NLCS for the first time since 2007 by thriving in intense situations, especially on the road. After sweeping the host Milwaukee Brewers in an NL wild-card series, the Diamondbacks swept a best-of-five NL Division Series from the Dodgers, whom they outscored 15-4 in the first two games in Los Angeles.
