The Phillies introduced terminator Jhoan Duran early in the 7th inning, allowing their opponents to go 3-for-3. After 2 outs in the 8th inning, the Warriors relied on hits and touch balls to capture first and second base. Riley locked Duran's 99.9-mile fireball (approximately 160.7 kilometers) and hit a reversal three-pointer in right field. The Warriors once again took the lead. In the end, the Warriors won.
The Warriors' Cy Young pitcher, Chris Sale, pitched 6.2 innings and allowed 3 runs, regardless of victory or defeat. Terminator Raisel Iglesias gave up 1 inning to hold on to victory. Tulan's reliever, who allowed 3 runs in 2 innings, was defeated. He only received 2 homers in the regular season this season, but was homered in a key game in the playoffs.
Riley fell into a slump in the regular season this year, surrendering 19 home runs, 72 RBIs, a batting average of 0.219, and an overall offensive index (OPS) of 0.654, both of which were career worst.
Warriors head coach Walt Weiss believes, "You can't tell this year whether he is the favorite for MVP or he is falling into a slump. I'm serious. He is the same person every day. If a player's mood rises and falls with his performance, it's like riding a roller coaster. It's impossible to perform like this."
