    Source: Phillies to start Aaron Nola in Game 3 vs. Braves; Zack Wheeler expected to follow (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    ATLANTA — For years, the Phillies applied a pitching formula to optimize success in short postseason series. “Wheeler, Nola, and it’s all o-vah.” It was their twist on “Spahn, Sain, and pray for rain,” and it worked, at least in best-of-three wild-card series in 2022 and 2023. Now, facing a third elimination game in less than a week Thursday night, they will lean on their two longtime horses again. Aaron Nola will start Game 3 here against the Braves, according to a major league sour

    The Phillies (1-1) face the Atlanta Braves (1-1) in Game 3 of their NL wild-card series Thursday (8 p.m., NBC). The winner moves on to the NL divisional series to face the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Phillies have no excuse to finish their comeback.

    ATLANTA — Bryce Harper crouched in right field, alone, his glove and hat resting on the grass and who knows what running through his brain. Come to think of it, what was going on up there? “I’ll tell you what,” Harper said later Wednesday, “I was thinking about Krew, my son — and what I would say to him in that situation.” The situation: The go-ahead hit clanged off the top of Harper’s outstretched glove after he misjudged a fly ball in the seventh inning of an elimination game.

    The Phillies (0-1) face the Atlanta Braves (1-0) in Game 2 of their best-of-three wild-card series (2 p.m., NBC). A loss and the Phillies' season is over. Cristopher Sánchez will take the mound for the Phillies, who need him to go deep. He's the reason fans should remain hopeful, writes columnist David Murphy. The Braves will counter with righty Tyler Mahle. Matt Breen says fans shouldn't blame Don Mattingly for the Phillies' Game 1 collapse. It still might cost him his job, writes columnist Ma

    Short of a Cristopher Sánchez complete game, the Phillies will again face the issue that cost them Game 1 (opens the original)

Because if the Phillies have a postseason pitching plan, it is to use the fewest pitchers possible to get 27 outs in a game. All hands on deck? Try six arms, maybe seven, even though there are a dozen on the roster. So, Jesús Luzardo pushed his recently inflamed left shoulder for 77 pitches against the B
