The playoff schedule for the Phillies is set. Here's a look at dates and times of the three-game series.
St. Louis is 6-8 in its last 14 games and has scored two runs or fewer in nine of them. The Cardinals have had the NL Central sewn up for much of September so their games haven't had the same intensity as those of the Mets or Braves, who had been battling every night in a quest to win the division. The Braves' win Tuesday night was the NL East clincher. Atlanta has won the division three years in a row.
The Phillies' most recent playoff series, October of 2011, was also against the Cardinals. This would be true of no other team but three players from that Cardinals club are still in St. Louis. Catcher Yadier Molina, a career Phillie-killer, started all five games of that NLDS. Albert Pujols, rejuvenated in his return to the Cardinals this year, went 7 for 20 with three doubles.
Adam Wainwright needed Tommy John surgery and missed the 2011 season a year after winning 20 games. The Phillies will likely face him Friday or Saturday. This season was Wainwright's ninth with at least 190 innings.Game 2:
