The Phillies are headed to the National League Championship Series!
Much like the last time they faced the Atlanta Braves in the playoffs, the Phillies - despite being seen as heavy underdogs - were the team that prevailed. With their 8-3 victory over the defending champions, the Philadelphia Phillies closed out the NLDS, and will advance on to the next round of the playoffs.
With an opportunity to clinch the series, Manager Rob Thomson said that every pitcher besides Aaron Nola would be available on Saturday. After the first two innings, it looked like he might only need one.
