Padres 8, Phillies 5: One Nola stumbles while the other shines

With Aaron Nola set to take the ball for Game Two of the NLCS, expectations for a Phillies win were understandably high. Unfortunately, Nola was not his typical self on Wednesday evening.

Blake Snell got the nod for San Diego and limited the Philly bats in the top of the first, as he retired the side on just six pitches.

Nols managed his way through the bottom of the inning, pitching around a Manny Machado double.

Jumping to the top of the second, everything came up red. Bryce Harper singled to begin the proceedings and was pushed to second after a Nick Castellanos base hit.
