Aaron Nola Pulled Early as Phillies Fall to Braves in Wild Card Game 3

Philadelphia Phillies starter Aaron Nola struggled in Game 3 of the NL Wild Card Series, getting pulled with two outs in the second inning after allowing three runs on two hits, two walks, and one strikeout against Atlanta. Nola threw 38 pitches, locating only 32% in the strike zone, with all damage coming in the first inning on walks to Ronald Acuña Jr. and Matt Olson before Michael Harris hit a three-run homer. The early exit contributed to a 6-2 elimination loss.
