[Christopher]

Phillies 71-58, 3-game lead for #1 wild card

Blue Jays 71-59, 2.5 games out of the #3 wild card

[Christopher]

Pitching matchup makes this essentially a must-win.
Can't eff around and lose opportunities like this at home.
No mercy.

[BelmontShore]

2-seam, belt high. Gotta stop. Gotta.

Follows up with a nasty curve K.

Keep the damn ball down.

[BelmontShore]

Boom.

Schwarbomb.

1-0.

[BelmontShore]

Coulda been better at bats by Schwarber and Turner with runners on 1st and 2nd.

Hell of a start by Nola today

[FolesMVP09]

Grear job by Nola, but Kimbrel is cooked for the season

[wrench248]

Sweep!

Exactly my thoughts going into the game and they got the needed sweep

Now they need to win 2/3 in between Moniak & O Hoppe HRs
