After losing game one of a doubleheader to the New York Mets, the Phillies needed Aaron Nola to pitch a good game. He certainly accomplished that. They probably didn’t expect him to also come through with the bat, but as it turned out, they needed that just as much.
On the mound, Nola was in command from the very start as he struck out the side in the first inning. While he also allowed a single in that inning, I can forgive him for that considering it was the only hit he allowed all night.
