in the National League wild-card series and sent the Phillies to the divisional round beginning Tuesday night in Atlanta against the defending World Series champion Braves.Jean Segura punched a go-ahead single in a six-run ninth inning in Game 1.Alec Bohm made a leaping, lunging catch to out-Arenado the Cardinals’ Gold Glove third baseman.
“I’ve been dreaming all my life to be in the postseason, the playoffs,” Domínguez said from a sudsy clubhouse amid the euphoria of a second champagne-and-beer celebration in six days. “My biggest wish right now is to get to the World Series and get people out, do my job, make the Phillies fans be happy, and win the whole thing.”
Interim manager Rob Thomson called down for Domínguez to get loose in Game 1 but never used him. When the call came in Game 2, Domínguez knew the assignment would begin with Albert Pujols, the retiring 703-homer Cardinals icon. Pujols slashed a single to left field to set up Goldschmidt and Arenado, who combined to go 1-for-15 with six strikeouts in the series.
Goldschmidt worked the count full, and Domínguez knew what he wanted to do: sinker away. But Segura called for a mound meeting because, from second base, he suspected Domínguez may be tipping his pitches. Before the summit broke up, Realmuto gave Domínguez the brief pep talk.Return from injury has ‘been a grind’ for Phillies’ Bryce Harper -- until his homer in Game 2
