Philadelphia, one of the worst teams of the 2017 season, won four straight elimination games -- two of them in extra innings -- to knock off a 1924 pennant winner.

The Giants romped in the opener, driving Aaron Nola from the box in the first inning and enjoying a second bat-around frame in the third. Winning pitcher Virgil Barnes was one of four Giants to score a pair of runs (also: Ross Youngs, Irish Meusel and Travis Jackson). Jackson had four hits.

Jackson hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning of Game Two to support Art Nehf, who scattered five hits in eight innings.

The series shifted to 2017 and Philly's Citizens Bank Park. New York made itself at home in Game Three: Hugh McQuillian allowed one run on two hits in eight innings, while the Giants plated single runs in five different innings. Nola started on two days rest after his Game 1 debacle and took another loss. Heine Groh went 3-for-4 with a run and an RBI for the visitors.

The Giants, needing one win to advance, scored five runs in the first two innings of Game Four. But Jake Thompson relieved Nick Pivetta in the third and threw five shutout innings, and the Phillies stung Rosy Ryan for three runs in the bottom of the ninth to tie the score. Hoby Milner surved a three-walk top of the 10th for the Phils, and Giants reliever Claude Jonnard didn't retire a batter in the bottom of the frame, with Odubel Herrera plating Freddy Galvis with the winning run.

The Giants led Game Five 4-2 after five innings, but the Phillies scored two in the seventh to tie it. In the bottom of the 10th, Ryan allowed three straight singles, to J.P. Crawford, Herrera and Cesar Hernandez, for the Phillies win.

The series reverted to the 1924 Polo Grounds for Game Six, and the Phillies again came back. A Bill Terry homer and a two-run double from Meusel put the Giants up 3-1, but in the sixth Rhys Hoskins hit a three-run homer off Neft to put the Phillies ahead -- and in the eighth Hoskins hit another three-run homer for useful insurance. The Giants scored a run in the ninth and had the bases loaded when Edubray Ramos entered to strike out pinch-hitter Hack Wilson for the final out.

The Phillies needed no comeback in Game Seven. They scored the first 11 runs -- three in the second as Galvis hit a two-run double, two in the third on Maikel Franco's homer, three more in the fifth as Galvis homered, three more in the eighth as Herrera, Hoskins and Nick Williams all doubled. New York scored five runs in the eighth and ninth, but the deficit was too much to overcome.

Player of the series: Rhys Hoskins.

Projected rotation: Pivetta-Eickoff-Nola-Lively-(Pivetta)-(Eickoff)-(Nola). Hellickson will be deactivated.
