Final: Padres 8, Phillies 5
For the rest of their lives, Philadelphia Phillies fans will be skeptical when the team takes a 4-0 lead in Game 2 of a postseason series and one of their aces is on the mound.
In Game 2 of the 2011 NLDS, the Phillies jumped out to a 4-0 lead, only to see Cliff Lee cough up the lead to the St. Louis Cardinals while their offense went stagnant.
Just over 11 years later, the Phillies scored four runs in a second inning where everything seemed to be going their way, but they couldn’t put together any more big innings, with Aaron Nola unable to replicate the success of his first two postseason outings.
