After they eked out a come-from-behind win in Game 1, Phillies closed out the Cardinals with a 2-0 victory in Game 2 for their first playoff series win since 2010. They will play the Braves in the NLDS beginning Tuesday.
ST. LOUIS — About three minutes before the first pitch of Game 1 of the National League wild-card series on Friday,“Every golden age has an end, and every great story has to start somewhere.”
The enduring image from that fateful game was Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard, collapsing 30 feet from home plate, as he tore his left Achilles tendon while grounding into the final out.

When Nola walked Tommy Edman with one out in the third, he struck out Nootbaar, and induced a groundout from Pujols. When he allowed a single to Juan Yepez in the fifth, he induced a forceout and two groundouts. Alec Bohm, who led the National League in errors at third base last season, will dive over the foul line to rob Arenado of an extra-base hit. Seranthony Domínguez, who had a 10.50 ERA in the month of September, will inherit a runner from Jose Alvarado in the bottom of the eighth, allow a single, and strike out the next two batters., will allow two hits, but record the save in the ninth to send his team to face the Braves in the divisional round.
