PHOENIX—After the Arizona Diamondbacks won in dramatic fashion in Games 3 and 4 at Chase Field to tie the National League Championship Series at two games apiece, Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson said he needed his team to show its resolve.

The Phillies answered with home runs by Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper and J.T Realmuto, and Zack Wheeler was effective on the mound in their 6–1 victory on Saturday.
