Good morning, Athletics Nation!
Another day, another playoff game. The Philadelphia Phillies continued their dominance in Game 2 of the NLCS, securing a commanding 2-0 series lead with a 10-0 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Once again, the Phillies showcased their explosive offense and formidable pitching against a clearly less experienced Diamondbacks team.
Ace pitcher Aaron Nola was the driving force behind the Phillies’ success, delivering six shutout innings while striking out seven and allowing a mere three hits. The staff’s co-ace now has a 0.96 ERA this postseason and will likely be getting a second shot at making his mark in the World Series next round.
