If the San Diego Padres want to tie up their National League Championship Series versus the Phillies, they have to get something – anything – from the middle of their lineup. Juan Soto, Manny Machado, Josh Bell and Jake Cronenworth went 0-for-14 with six strikeouts in their Game 1 loss on Tuesday. The task won't get any easier tonight as the Padres face right-hander Aaron Nola, who has thrown 12.2 scoreless innings in this playoffs. Here is the Padres' lineup for tonight's Game 2. First pitch from San Diego's Petco Park is set for 4:35 p.m. ET.
