In the opening game of the 2022 World Series, Aaron Nola took the mound for the Phillies in Houston and in the fourth inning started giving up runs. In the fifth, after surrendering a total of five runs, he was given the hook and Jose Alvarado took over for him. The bullpen stemmed the bleeding. Luckily for the Phillies, the offense was able to get to Justin Verlander early and pick up five runs. The game remained tied at five until the tenth inning when J.T. Realmuto’s home run put the Fightin’s over the top.
How Nola got his groove back: Phillies 3, Astros 1
