Game Four of the 2022 World Series provided the Philadelphia Phillies with a prime opportunity to firmly assert themselves in the driver’s seat. With Aaron Nola set to take the bump, and the Phillies top bullpen arms rested, things seemed to line up as perfect as they could for Rob Thomson.
Opposing the former LSU Tiger was 25-year-old righty Cristian Javier. It was clear from the start of the ball game that Javier had his best stuff.
Both teams were held scoreless through four innings as both pitchers were on point. Aaron Nola worked out of a couple of tough jams, but ultimately looked solid.
