In his sixth career postseason start, Aaron Nola pitched a gem in front of the home faithful, ensuring he’d get at least one more chance to do so before he ventures into an uncertain future this offseason as the Phillies defeated the Miami Marlins by a score of 7-1 to sweep the Wild Card Series and advance to the Division Series against the Atlanta Braves.
Including his seven shutout innings tonight, Nola lowered his home ERA to 3.04 on the season. As seemingly disappointing as his walk year has been, you can’t argue that he’s saved his best for the fans.
