The Phils are one win away from advancing to face the Braves and guaranteeing themselves at least one home playoff game. Saturday at 8:37 p.m., Nola takes the ball in Game 2 in St. Louis:
"I think it was just a matter of time. It's awesome to be here and obviously celebrate getting into the postseason the other day with everybody, especially and Rhys . They've been here the longest. So it's awesome for Wheeler and Segura and J.T. , who are making their postseason debut as well. It's awesome for the team, for the organization, for the fanbase to be here. But it starts today, and we're excited, looking forward to today.
Nola did not have the same success against the Cardinals in July that Wheeler did. He had two bad innings and allowed five runs over seven in a Phillies loss. Historically, he's pitched very well when facing St. Louis, posting a 2.69 ERA with his lowest opponents' batting average against any team . The Phillies face right-hander Miles Mikolas, a quick worker who relies on soft contact just like Jose Quintana. Mikolas had a 3.29 ERA this season in 202⅓ innings, walking only 39 batters. Nola and Mikolas had the second- and 10th-lowest walk rates in the majors, respectively.
