Good lord, that night.
You know what, let’s not even rehash what happened last night. It’s a top five loss in the team’s last 5 years and that’s enough to say. Tonight was a slightly different story.
The plan was Aaron Nola in game one, then use the bullpen for game two. In order for that plan to work, Nola had to be NOLA, the ACE.
It’s wonderful when a plan comes together.
The team was stymied early on by Nola’s counterpart, Trevor Rogers, by striking out five times in the first two innings.
