Phillies face Jose Quintana, an interesting figure in franchise playoff lore, in must-win Game 4

NEW YORK —- In the Phillies’ first postseason game under manager Rob Thomson, before the inning that changed it all, Jose Quintana locked down the Phillies. Starting for the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 1 of the 2022 Wild Card Series, the veteran left-hander silenced Philadelphia’s lineup for 5 1/3 scoreless innings in this core’s first taste of playoff baseball together.

Ultimately, the Phillies authored an unforgettable ninth-inning comeback as Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley melted down, leading to the win that began their incredible run to the National League pennant and jump-started the return of Red October in Philadelphia.
