On Wednesday, the St. Louis Cardinals scored 10 runs in the first inning of game 5 of the NLDS. Never before had any team put up 10 runs in any 1 inning of the playoffs.
For Phillies fans, there was no taste sweeter than seeing that it was the Braves getting their teeth kicked in. The Cardinals winning eliminated the Braves from the playoffs.
The end of a division rival’s playoff run came with a separate piece of news. Catcher Brian McCann called it a career. 2020 will be the first year since 2005 that the Phillies no longer have to worry about the long-time Brave.
