How high were your hopes that the Phillies would come out on top by the end of this series? Miami has held bad vibes for quite some time now, so we reflexively come to expect the worst in South Florida. Luckily for all of us, Aaron Nola delivered a masterful pitching performance, which sent the Phillies into the All-Star break and helped the Phillies sweep the Marlins in Miami for the first time since September 2010, and brought them even with St. Louis for the final wild card spot in the National League.
Nola just demolished the Miami batters today, striking out 10 Marlins across 8.
