Phillies advance to NLDS after drubbing of Marlins in Wild Card round
The Phillies and Braves will meet in the National League Divisional Series for the second straight season after a stellar pitching performance by Aaron Nola and a 6th inning grand slam by Bryson Stott.
PHILADELPHIA - Let's go for round 2!
The Philadelphia Phillies are getting ready to face off against the Atlanta Braves once again after claiming victory with a two-game sweep in the Wild Card Series.
This will be the second year in the row both teams will meet to battle it out in the National League Division Series.
And we're all hoping for the same outcome as last year!
The NL champions finished third last season in the NL East at 87-75, a full 14 games behind the 101-win Braves, only to beat them in four games in the NLDS.
"It's going to be an electric series, and we can't wait," Bryce Harper said after the Wild Card win.
The highly anticipated rematch kicks off Saturday in Atlanta. Here's the full schedule:
- Game 1: 6 p.m. Saturday, October 7 in Atlanta
- Game 2: 6 p.m. Monday, October 9 in Atlanta
- Game 3: 5 p.m. Wednesday, October 11 at Citizens Bank Park
- Game 4 (if needed): 6 p.m. Thursday, October 12 at Citizens Bank Park
- Game 5 (if needed): 6 p.m. Saturday, October 14 in Atlanta
Times for games 3-5 are to be determined, and the Phillies have yet to announce a starting pitcher for the series.
