San Diego Padres, Philadelphia Phillies Release NLCS Game 2 Starting Lineups

Here's a look at how the San Diego Padres and Philadelphia Phillies will line up for game two of the National League Championship Series Wednesday afternoon at Petco Park in San Diego. Blake Snell and Aaron Nola will each take the mound. First pitch is at 4:35 p.m. ET.

The San Diego Padres and Philadelphia Phillies announced their starting lineups on Twitter Wednesday afternoon for game two of the National League Championship Series at Petco Park in San Diego, set to start at 4:35 p.m. ET.

The Phillies took a 1-0 series lead Tuesday night with their 2-0 victory over the Padres at Petco Park.

Aaron Nola will receive his third start of the postseason for the Phillies Wednesday. He has won both his starts in the Major League Baseball playoffs in 2022.

Padres manager Bob Melvin will turn to Blake Snell, in a game the Padres can ill-afford to lose. If the Phillies take game two, they will go up 2-0 in the NLCS with game three, game four, and game five (if necessary) to be played in Philadelphia Friday through Sunday.
