PHILADELPHIA — The Phillies held an intrasquad game Wednesday at Citizens Bank Park in front of over 31,000 fans as they prepared for the NLDS, which will begin on Saturday against either the Los Angeles Dodgers or Cincinnati Reds.
Here is a — sort of — box score of what took place over the seven-inning exhibition Wednesday with the home powder blues defeating the *road* pinstripes 3-0.
Away (Pinstripes)
Starting Lineup
1. Trea Turner, SS: 1-for-3 with a strikeout, single and groundout
2. Kyle Schwarber, DH: 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a groundout
3. Harrison Bader, CF: 0-2 with two strikeouts and a walk
4. Max Kepler, RF: 0-for-3 with three strikeouts
5. Bryson Stott, 2B: 1-for-2 with a single, strikeout and walk
6. Rafael Marchán, C: 2-for-3 with two singles and a groundout
7. Weston Wilson, LF: 0-for-2 with two strikeouts and a walk
8. Rafael Lantigua, 3B: 0-for-3 with three groundouts, but reached on an Edmundo Sosa error in third inning
9. Caleb Ricketts, 1B: 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a flyout
Starting Pitcher: Aaron Nola
It's unclear exactly what Nola's role will be in the NLDS, but he did pitch three shutout innings in this tune-up, backing up his eight-inning outing last Friday against the Minnesota Twins. Nola allowed two hits and struck out three batters, using 41 pitches.

Home (Powder Blue)
Starting Lineup
1. Brandon Marsh, CF: 1-for-4 with groundout, flyout, strikeout and RBI single
2. Alec Bohm, 3B: 0-for-4 with strikeout, groundout and two flyouts
3. Bryce Harper, 1B: 3-for-4 with two singles, home run and groundout
4. J.T. Realmuto, DH: 2-for-3 with two singles, walk and strikeout
5. Nick Castellanos, RF: 0-for-4 with strikeout, popout and two groundouts
6. Edmundo Sosa, 3B: 0-for-3 with two strikeouts, groundout and walk
7. Otto Kemp, LF: 2-for-3 with two singles and a flyout
8. Garrett Stubbs, C: 2-for-3 with two singles, RBI and flyout
9. Donovan Walton, 2B: 0-for-3 with two groundouts and strikeout
Starting Pitcher: Jesús Luzardo
Luzardo — who seems likely to start Game 2 or 3 of an NLDS — pitched three innings Wednesday. All nine of the outs he recorded came via the strikeout. He did load the bases in his final inning of work, although that was in part because of a Sosa throwing error. Overall, it was an impressive outing by Luzardo, who allowed just two hits and one walk, while throwing 60 pitches.
