LOS ANGELES (AP) – With the Philadelphia Phillies facing elimination, the team’s struggling big three saved the season in a big way, at least for another day.<\/p>\n

Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper and Trea Turner combined for seven hits and five RBIs to lead the Phillies to an 8-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night in the best-of-five NLDS.<\/p>\n

Schwarber got back his postseason power, hitting a pair of home runs – including one that left the stadium. He now has 23 career postseason home runs, third all-time.<\/p>\n

The Phillies are still down 2-1 in the series and face another elimination game on Thursday. If they win, they\u00b4ll send the series back to Philadelphia for Game 5.<\/p>\n

And it all started with Schwarber’s big swing that went 455 feet over the right-field pavilion in the fourth inning to tie the game at 1. Then Harper and Turner got in on the act, too.<\/p>\n

“We want to go in and do our job everyday,” Harper said. “Any time we have Kyle going or Trea going or myself or anybody else, we\u00b4re going to win games. I think we all know that. When we\u00b4re not doing our job, we\u00b4re probably not going to win many games. That\u00b4s something we need to do (Thursday), come in, do our job, have fun and enjoy it. Obviously, it\u00b4s a great opportunity to play this game. We have a lot of fun doing it.”<\/p>\n

The big three were 7 for 13 with five RBIs, four runs, two walks and Turner\u00b4s two stolen bases.<\/p>\n

Schwarber\u00b4s first shot was unmistakably the potion the Phillies needed from the top of their lineup. The Phillies scored three runs in the fourth, took a 3-1 lead and never looked back.<\/p>\n

“Ridiculous how far that ball went,” Turner said of Schwarber\u00b4s solo shot. “I just think the vibes, the energy it\u00b4s something to build off. Sometimes, it\u00b4s hard to create your own momentum. You\u00b4ve got to build off things like that. No better way than a ball leaving the stadium.”<\/p>\n

Harper and Schwarber were 1 for 15 with eight strikeouts in the first two games of the series.<\/p>\n

The Phillies still have work to do as only two teams have ever come back from a 2-0 deficit to win the NLDS.<\/p>\n

But with hitting becoming contagious for Turner, Schwarber and Harper, the Phillies found hope.<\/p>\n

Schwarber had a two-run shot off Clayton Kershaw in the eighth after Turner singled leading off.<\/p>\n

“I think just trying to get back and respond there after they score a run is a big thing for us,” Schwarber said. “That\u00b4s something we have a knack for here. That\u00b4s something that\u00b4s never going to leave us. We have to keep that same feeling, that same fight, but it\u00b4s just nice to get the answer back.”<\/p>\n
