The Philadelphia Phillies had a must-win game in front of them in Game 2 of the NLDS at home on Monday. After a late comeback in the ninth inning, the Phillies ultimately fell one run short, losing 4-3 in devastating fashion. They could live with a split at home before heading to Los Angeles for two games, but they now trail 0-2 and need to win three straight to advance.
The Phillies had home-field advantage this series, a marvel in its own right given the Phillies were able to claim the first-round bye for the second consecutive year.
