After seeing the dedication that one Phillies fan showed in traveling to San Diego to watch the team in the NLCS, rookie shortstop Bryson Stott said he wants to reward him with postseason tickets.
Thursday night, Stott responded to a tweet from NBC Sports Philadelphia's John Clark saying that he would set aside two tickets for the NLCS games this weekend at Citizens Bank Park.
"This Phillies fan came from Washington DC to see his Phillies play in San Diego because it's cheaper to see a game out here than it is in Philly in the NLCS," Clark tweeted. "Geoff Crawley lost his Dad to cancer in July. His Dad is on a sweatshirt sitting next to him for Game 2."
Stott and the Phillies return home Friday to Citizens Bank Park, which provided quite the home-field advantage when the team upset the defending World Series champion Atlanta Braves in the NLDS.
Ranger Suárez will get the ball for the Phillies, with the Padres slated to counter with Joe Musgrove, who has a 1.38 ERA in two starts so far this postseason.
The Phillies coughed up a chance to take a commanding 2-0 series lead in Game 2, but still find themselves in a pretty good situation considering that the next three games will be played at home.
