Tommy Pham and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit back-to-back homers to help Arizona force Game 7 with a 5-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday.

Pitcher Merrill Kelly retired Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner and Bryce Harper in order in the fifth inning, striking out Schwarber and Harper. Kelly, along with four relievers, combined to shut down the Phillies.

The winner of Tuesday night’s game advances to the World Series against Texas, which beat Houston on Monday night for the AL pennant. The Phillies will host the Diamondbacks on Tuesday night in a winner-take-all Game 7 at Citizens Bank Park.
