In game three of the four game set, the 24-25 Philadelphia Phillies will try and take a 2-1 lead in the series Wednesday night over the 23-25 Miami Marlins.
Here’s what to watch:
Nola day
Since Aaron Nola threw the first nine-inning shutout of his career April 18 against the St. Louis Cardinals, he hasn’t been the same. Nola is 2-3 with a 5.19 ERA in six starts since that day. The Phillies are 2-3 in that stretch.
Overall, Nola is 3-4 with a 3.94 ERA this season.
