Aaron Nola tosses complete game shutout as Phillies sweep Reds

Final Score: Phillies 4, Reds 0

Kyle Schwarber hit a majestic home run, Edmundo Sosa drove in three runs and Aaron Nola pitched a complete-game shutout to help the Philadelphia Phillies secure a four-game sweep over the Cincinnati Reds.

Schwarber got the scoring started in the home half of the third inning with a solo home run that traveled an estimated 451 feet, ultimately hitting off the batter’s eye in center field:

Meanwhile, Sosa got the start at third base on a night off for Alec Bohm. While known more for his glove work, Sosa pushed a run across with a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning, before adding two insurance runs with a seventh-inning single:

That was more than enough for Nola, who limited the Reds to just four hits in a complete-game shutout that saw him strike out 11 batters.
