The Phillies lost to the Padres 8-5 in Game 2 of the NLCS. The series is tied at 1-1 and heads to Philly on Friday.
Petco Park was packed and loud for the first two games of this series, but the Phillies did a pretty good job of hushing the place in Game 1 and again early in Game 2.
Bloopers, bleeders, broken-bat hits -- the Phillies had them in the second inning, but they weren't about to complain. They were off and running against a tough lefty in Snell and Petco Park was quiet. The Padres came all the way back when they rallied for five runs in the fifth inning, four of which were charged to Nola. Ha-Seong Kim started the frame with a line-drive single to left and scored all the way from first on a one-out base hit to right by Austin Nola, brother of the Phillies' pitcher. Aaron Nola had his brother 0-2 but could not put him away. Kim was off on the pitch and Austin Nola lined the high fastball to right to make it a one-run game and send the crowd into a frenzy.
