I'm a Phillies fan who went to both games in St. Louis and all I can say is...GO PHILS!! Their two starters, Wheeler & Nola, combined for 0 runs, 6 hits, and 2 walks in 13 innings pitched against an incredibly potent Cardinals offense. Then there was the 6 run 9th inning in game 1 (fueled, quite honestly, by some luck and Cardinals miscues) and the bullpen hung on in game 2 despite the Cardinals having one man on in the 7th and two on in both the 8th and 9th. Phew.
And in a very classy move, after the game ended, Phillies owner John Middleton came out of the dugout to sign things for Phillies fans while the celebration was happening in the clubhouse. The results haven't always been there, but his desire to win and connect with the fans can't be overstated.
Phils vs Braves next. I'll be watching this one on TV but if Wheeler & Nola can pitch like that again, they'll only need to find one more win to win that series. Go Phillies!
