They’re Going to the Postseason: Phillies 3 Pirates 2

Taking you all the way to the top of the eighth (I want to make this quick for the both of us), Aaron Nola gave them a gem through 6.2 innings.

His curveball danced on its own for seven whiffs on 18 swings. He fanned eight batters for an encouraging start heading into the postseason.

With a 2-1 lead heading into the eighth, Rob Thomson had Craig Kimbrel face the bottom of the Pittsburgh Pirates order.

After recording a strikeout on catcher Endy Rodríguez, Henry Davis took a hanging curveball to the left field seats to tie the game.
