The Phillies are looking to grab another win at home after triumphing in Game 3 Friday. Philadelphia has not been able to do much offensively through three games but has been limiting the Padres outside of the Game 2 implosion. We’ll see if Falter can keep that going Saturday.
The Padres have not been able to click outside of their fifth inning heroics in Game 2. San Diego’s big bats have gone cold at a bad time. The Padres face a potential 3-1 hole after already playing two games in San Diego, so this is a crucial contest Saturday.
How you'll watch games depends on where you live. If you live in-market for the Padres, games will typically air on Bally Sports San Diego, the regional sports network for the Padres.
The Padres play the Phillies in Game 4 of the League Championship Series on Saturday, October 22, 2022 at 7:45 pm ET. This game is airing nationally on Fox. You can watch with a free trial to DIRECTV STREAM.
