Matt Strahm got the call from the Philadelphia Phillies bullpen in the ninth inning of the team's game against the Atlanta Braves. With a National League Championship Series berth in the balance, the hurler tipped the scales in the Phillies favor, recording two outs on three pitches, capping off the performance with a strike out of pinch-hitter Vaughn Grissom. The outing held the Club's 3-1 lead, and pushed them into the NLCS for the second consecutive year.
