Phillies tab Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola to start first two games of NL Wild Card Series

The Phillies will turn to their top two pitchers to open the postseason, with Zack Wheeler getting the Game 1 nod Tuesday in the National League Wild Card Series opener and Aaron Nola starting Game 2 the following day. The Phillies clinched the top wild card seed with a win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday and have four more games to give starters rest and tinker with the pitching staff. Manager Rob Thomson did not announce a Game 3 starter in the best-of-three series but left-hander Ranger Suarez could get the nod.
