2021 NLDS Game Summaries - Phoenix vs. Fleetwood

Game 1: Phoenix at Fleetwood

Antonio Senzatela (17-10, 3.79 ERA) vs. Kenta Maeda (20-5, 2.39 ERA)

This National League Divisional series pits the NL West champion Phoenix Sun Devils (95 wins, 67 losses) against the NL Central champion Fleetwood Walkers (124 wins, 38 losses).

Fleetwood drew first blood early against Phoenix's Antonio Senzatela, scoring two runs in the 1st inning: one on a two-base throwing error by third baseman Eugenio Suarez and another an a triple by Brandon Belt.

Suarez quickly attuned for his fielding miscue by hitting two home runs off Fleetwood's Kenta Maeda: one in the 2nd inning and another in the 5th inning.

Maeda strikes out 12.

However, those were the only hits that Phoenix would earn in the game against Maeda (5.1 innings, 2 runs, 12 strikeouts) and four Fleetwood relievers. Meanwhile, Mookie Betts would drive in two runs on the evening on an RBI single in the 4th inning and a bases-loaded walk in the 5th inning.

Final score: Phoenix 2, Fleetwood 4
W: Maeda. L: Senzatella. SV: Gonzalez.
HR: Suarez-2.

Fleetwood leads series 1-0.

Game 2: Phoenix at Fleetwood
Dallas Keuchel (10-10, 2.93 ERA) vs. Zack Greinke (20-7, 3.72 ERA)

Fleetwood jumped on Phoenix starter Dallas Keuchel early, plating four runs in the 1st inning highlighted by a Mike Brosseau three-run homer.

Suarez hits third HR of series.

Two heroes from the day prior -- Eugenio Suarez for Phoenix, Mookie Betts for Fleetwood -- would collect solo home runs of their own later in the game. But Phoenix ultimately would prove unable to cap
italize on a would-be 8th inning rally and thus fall short of earning a comeback win.

Final score: Phoenix 2, Fleetwood 6
W: Burnes. L: Keuchel. SV: Gonzalez.
HR: Suarez, Brosseau, Betts.

Fleetwood leads series 2-0.

Game 3: Fleetwood at Phoenix
Tony Gonsolin (10-4, 2.22 ERA) vs. Dane Dunning (8-5, 3.99 ERA)

This third game of the series would prove to be a classic (albeit bullpen-heavy) pitchers' duel with the game knotted at 1-1 through the regulation nine innings.

Stars on the mound for Fleetwood were starter Tony Gonsolin (4.2 innings, 1 run, 6 strikeouts) and Corbin Burnes (3 innings, 0 runs), while Phoenix enjoyed stand-out performances from starter Dane Dunning (5.2 innings, 1 run) and -- especially -- Tyler Matzek (3 innings, 0 runs, 8 strikeouts).

Betts hits 2-run HR in 10th.

In the 10th inning, Mookie Betts would hit a two-run home run for Fleetwood. In the bottom of the same inning, Phoenix threatened with a lead-off double and a two-out walk. But that attempted rally fell just short, and Fleetwood had eked out another win.

Final score: Fleetwood 3, Phoenix 1 (10 innings)
W: Gonzalez. L: Hernandez. SV: Hearn.
HR: Trout, Betts, Cron.

Fleetwood leads series 3-0.

Game 4: Fleetwood at Phoenix
Zach Davies (20-5, 3.82 ERA) vs. Antonio Senzatela (17-10, 3.79 ERA) 

Fleetwood's star centerfielder Mike Trout had been relatively quiet through three games (1 for 10, solo HR). But he quickly hit two home runs in the game (a solo homer in the 1st and a two-run shot in the 3rd), giving his team an early 4-0 lead.

Trout hits two homers in Game Four.

Although Eugenio Suarez would hit another home run in the 4th inning -- his fourth homer of the series -- those early Fleetwood runs would be all its red-hot pitching staff would need. Zach Davies (5 innings, 1 run) did most of the pitching, followed by four hitless innings by four different Fleetwood relievers.

Fleetwood would hold on to win the game 4 to 1, and take the series. The Walkers will now face the winner of the other NL Divisional Series (Portland vs. Springfield).

Congrats to Phoenix (Peter and Chris Blake) on a great season.

Final score: Fleetwood 4, Phoenix 1
W: Davies. L: Senzatela. SV: Gonzalez.
HR: Trout-2, Suarez.

Fleetwood wins series 4-0.

Series MVP: Victor Gonzalez (1 win, 3 saves, 0.00 ERA; 6 innings pitched, 1 hit, 0 runs, 1 walk, 6 strikeouts).

World Series Game Summaries - Simi Valley at Fleetwood

Game 1: Simi Valley at Fleetwood
Walker Buehler (12-5, 2.39 ERA) vs. Zack Greinke (17-9, 3.27 ERA)

The championship series kicked off with a show of power, as each team hit two home runs in the first four innings of the game. Things settled down from there until the 8th inning, when Fleetwood loaded the bases with two outs against Simi Valley starting pitcher Walker Buehler.

Gm 1: O'Hearn grand slam in 8th.

Fleetwood then sent up pinch hitter Ryan O'Hearn, while Simi Valley countered with relief ace Jared Hughes. O'Hearn came through for the home-town crowd, launching a grand slam to put the game out of reach.

Final score: Simi Valley 2, Fleetwood 7
W: Greinke. L: Buehler. SV: Treinen.
HR: Chapman, Diaz, Pham, Correa, O'Hearn.

Fleetwood leads series 1-0.

Game 2: Simi Valley at Fleetwood
Clayton Kershaw (9-9, 3.41 ERA) vs. Rich Hill (6-6, 4.58 ERA)

In place of the home runs hit the day prior, this game featured excellent pitching all around. Clayton Kershaw (5 IP, 1 R) and Jared Hughes (1.2 IP, 0 R) were the key contributors for Simi Valley, while Rich Hill (3 IP, 1 R) and Jonathan Holder (2.1 IP, 0 R) starred on the mound for Fleetwood.

Gm 2: Andujar solo home run in 7th.

With the game tied at 1-1 in the bottom of the 7th inning, Fleetwood's Miguel Andujar launched a lead-off home run off Simi Valley's Brad Ziegler to give the Walkers a late 2-1 lead.

Simi Valley's bats then awoke in the 9th, starting with a lead-off double by Matt Chapman. Enrique Hernandez followed with a sharply-hit single to left field, sending Chapman racing towards home. But Mike Trout, playing left field in this late inning in favor of Kevin Kiermaier in center, fired a missile of a throw to the plate. Chapman was thrown out, and Fleetwood's Blake Treinen then settled down with a strikeout and flyout to end the exciting game.

Final score: Simi Valley 1, Fleetwood 2
W: Treinen. L: Ziegler. SV: None.
HR: Andujar.

Fleetwood leads series 2-0.

Game 3: Fleetwood at Simi Valley
Eduardo Rodriguez (12-5, 2.71 ERA) vs. Jack Flaherty (10-5, 3.60 ERA)

The series moved to Simi Valley for Game 3. The early innings of the game were a back-and-forth affair, with the Walkers clinging to a 4-3 lead through 6 innings.

Tommy Pham extended the Fleetwood lead in the 7th with a lead-off home run, only to see Simi Valley's Elias Diaz answer back with a lead-off homer of his own in the bottom of the same inning.

In the top of the 8th inning, with a Fleetwood runner on first and two outs, Simi Valley brought in righty-specialist Brad Ziegler to face Carlos Correa. Fleetwood countered with lefty pinch-hitter Ryan O'Hearn, who had hit a grand slam back in Game 1. Clearly not liking this new matchup, Simi Valley's manager called for an unconventional intentional walk to O'Hearn, forcing a runner into scoring position but giving Simi Valley a preferred righty-versus-righty matchup.

Gm 3: Treinen 2.1 scoreless innings.

But the Fleetwood righty was Miguel Andujar, who had been hot all post-season. Andujar continued his hot hitting here, lining a single into center field. Simi Valley's Michael Taylor collected the ball quickly, and fired it home in hopes of preventing Fleetwood from adding an insurance run. The throw was strong and true, beating runner Ryan Zimmerman to the plate and saving a run when Diaz applied the tag.

Fleetwood ultimately did add an insurance run in the 8th on a Mookie Betts single. In the 9th, Blake Treinen gave up a lead-off walk to Simi Valley to bring the tying run to the plate. But Treinen then secured three quick outs to close out the game.

Final score: Fleetwood 6, Simi Valley 4
W: Holder. L: Flaherty. SV: Treinen.
HR: Pham, Betts, Correa, Andujar, Hernandez, Diaz.

Fleetwood leads series 3-0.

Game 4: Fleetwood at Simi Valley

Zack Greinke (17-9, 3.27 ERA) vs. Lance McCullers (11-5, 3.86 ERA)

Down three games to zero and facing elimination, Simi Valley handed the ball to the young righty Lance McCullers. Fleetwood interestingly turned to Zack Greinke, who would be pitching on three days' rest for the first time all season.

Fleetwood announced its presence with authority in the 1st inning when Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani hit back-to-back two-out homers. Fleetwood added a third run in the 4th on a Miguel Andujar RBI double.

Gm 4: Zack Greinke 5 innings, 0 runs.

Greinke, meanwhile, pitched extremely well despite pitching on shorter-than-usual rest. He pitched 5 full scoreless inning before giving way to Kirby Yates to start the 6th inning. Yates faced the heart of Simi Valley's lineup -- Enrique Hernandez, Freedie Freeman and Matt Chapman -- but retired them in order.

In the 7th, Fleetwood added to its lead with a two-run Mike Trout home run. The Walkers now found themselves up 5-0 with just nine outs separating them from a second BRASSball championship.

Simi Valley fought back like a champion themselves, first with a Max Stassi pinch-hit home run in the 7th and then with a Matt Chapman RBI double in the 8th. These two runs tightened the score to 5-2 in favor of Fleetwood. Blake Treinen then entered after the Chapman double, striking out Elias Diaz and ending the Simi Valley rally.

But the Walkers plated three insurance runs in the 9th, keyed by a lead-off triple from D.J. Lemahieu and eventually RBI singles from Kevin Kiermaier, Shohei Ohtani and Kurt Suzuki. Simi Valley scored a rare run off Treinen when Keon Broxton connected for a home run. But otherwise Treinen was solid again, and the game -- and the series -- were over.

Final score: Fleetwood 8, Simi Valley 3
W: Greinke. L: McCullers. SV: Treinen.
HR: Trout, Betts, Ohtani, Stassi, Broxton.

Fleetwood wins series 4-0.
