Philadelphia jumped on top early in Game 2, scoring four runs off of Blake Snell in the top of the second by way of a bloop single by Alec Bohm that scored Bryce Harper, a Matt Vierling double that was lost in the sun by Juan Soto, an Edmundo Sosa single, and a Kyle Schwarber grounder that was dropped by Brandon Drury, allowing Vierling to score. The Padres answered back in the bottom of the inning with home runs on back-to-back pitches from Brandon Drury and Josh Bell off of Phillies starter Aaron Nola. Nola then faced his brother Austin, who grounded out to third. In the top of the fifth, Austin singled off his brother, scoring Ha-seong Kim. Jurickson Profar then singled to advance Nola to third. The next batter, Juan Soto, doubled to right field, scoring Nola and tying the game at four. Three additional runs would score in the inning, two from a single from Drury, and one from a single from Bell to put the Padres up 7–4. In the seventh inning, Manny Machado homered off Philadelphia's David Robertson, increasing the Padres' lead to four. A first-pitch homer from Rhys Hoskins in the top of the eighth that cut down San Diego's lead to three would be the final run of the game, as Josh Hader earned the save in San Diego's first win in an NLCS game since 1998.

Three days after the Phillies blew a 4–0 lead in Game 2, the Padres blew a 4–0 lead of their own. In the first inning, Manny Machado hit a solo home run, followed by a two-run double by Brandon Drury that pulled Philadelphia starter Bailey Falter out of the game. His replacement, Connor Brogdon, gave up a single by Ha-seong Kim that scored Drury to widen the Padres' lead to 4–0. In the bottom of the inning, Rhys Hoskins hit a two-run home run for the Phillies to cut the lead in half, followed by a run-scoring double by Bryce Harper to get Philadelphia within one run. This pulled San Diego starter Mike Clevinger out of the game, the first time two opposing starters had been pulled in the first inning of a postseason game since the 1932 World Series. In the bottom of the fourth, Bryson Stott tied the game at four, scoring Nick Castellanos. Stott was tagged out at second base. In the fifth inning, Juan Soto hit a two-run home run to give San Diego a 6–4 edge. The lead was short-lived, however. In the bottom of the inning, Hoskins hit another two-run home run off Sean Manaea to tie the game at six. This was followed by an RBI double by Harper, which gave Philadelphia the lead for the first time in the game. Castellanos hit a single that bounced off second base, scoring Harper to make it 8–6. Kyle Schwarber and J. T. Realmuto added to the scoring with solo home runs in the sixth and seventh innings off Luis Garcia and Steven Wilson, respectively. The 10–6 victory for Philadelphia pulled them within one win of going to the World Series.

Game 5 was a pitching rematch of Game 1, with Zack Wheeler on the mound for the Phillies and Yu Darvish for the Padres. In the bottom of the third with two outs, Darvish walked Kyle Schwarber. The next batter, Rhys Hoskins, followed up on his performance in Game 4 and hit a two-run home run, his third in 24 hours. The Padres prevented additional scoring after a J. T. Realmuto single when Bryce Harper flew out to end the inning. Juan Soto struck back for the Padres in the top of the fourth with a solo home run. Wheeler was chased from the game after giving up a single to Jake Cronenworth in the top of the seventh. His replacement, Seranthony Domínguez, gave up a double to Josh Bell that scored Cronenworth. Bell's pinch runner, José Azócar, advanced to third on a wild pitch. With two outs and two strikes on the batter, Trent Grisham, Domínguez threw another pitch in the dirt to score Azócar and give San Diego the lead. Grisham then flew out to end the top of the inning. In the top of the seventh, Bryson Stott doubled, removing Darvish from the game. He was replaced with Robert Suárez. After getting Jean Segura to fly out and striking out Brandon Marsh, Suárez intentionally walked Schwarber. With two outs, Hoskins flew out to end the inning. After Domínguez's disappointing performance in the seventh inning, he was replaced with José Alvarado, who walked Soto after giving up a single to Jurickson Profar. Alvarado got out of the jam by getting Manny Machado to fly out and Cronenworth to ground out.
In the bottom of the eighth, with Philadelphia still trailing by a run, Realmuto singled to left field. Harper then hit a two-run home run to left field, giving the Phillies a one-run lead.
