In came Phil Maton, who to that point had struggled in the postseason, giving up four earned runs in just 2.2 innings. He wasn’t perfect, but he got the job done and limited the damage. He got Will Smith to pop out to second for the first out, and then gave up a single to Tommy Edman. Pete Alonso had a chance to field the ball on the dive but couldn’t quite snag it. That made it a 6-3 ballgame with runners on first and third and the tying run at the plate in Muncy. Maton walked him to load the bases and then got Kiké Hernández to roll into a 5-4-3 double play to escape the inning.
