A pair of the National League's top pitchers over the last two months will face off in Game 2 of the NL Division Series, each with an important objective.
The St. Louis Cardinals will send right-hander Jack Flaherty (11-8, 2.75 ERA) to face the host Atlanta Braves' Mike Foltynewicz (8-6, 4.54) on Friday afternoon.
Flaherty will try to give the Cardinals a 2-0 lead when the best-of-five series shifts to St. Louis on Sunday. Foltynewicz will try to even the series and avoid putting the Braves in a very difficult situation.
