With Game 1s in the rear-view mirror, the National League’s wild card teams headed into decisive second games Wednesday night. In Milwaukee, with the Diamondbacks ahead in the series, these two defensively gifted squads were headed for a pitchers’ duel with Zac Gallen and Freddy Peralta getting starting nods. In the City of Brotherly Love, the Marlins looked to stay alive after dropping Game 1, but it would be no easy task against Aaron Nola, while they sent out 25-year-old Braxton Garrett.
