October 17, 2012: Phillies 2 Diamondbacks 0 (Diamondbacks lead NLCS, 2-1)

Four Phillies pitchers combine on the shutout and the Phillies get their first win of the series in the first game in Citizens Bank Park. The Phils got a run in the 4th on a John Mayberry home run, and another in the 6th when Ryan Howard doubled following a Chase Utley single. The Phillies offense still needs to break out if they're going to have a chance in this series. They had just 5 hits in this game and have scored just 5 runs so far in the series.
