It’s time to panic: Phillies are now 5 games back after crushing defeat in San Diego

Final Score: Padres 4, Phillies 3 (10 innings)

The Phillies needed a brilliant outing from Aaron Nola and they got it. Unfortunately, Nola’s best still wasn’t good enough.

For the second time this season, the Phillies have lost on a walk-off wild pitch. Trent Grisham had a chance to win the game with a base-hit, but it wasn’t needed as Andrew Knapp couldn’t block a pitch in the dirt from Connor Brogdon.

The ending negated a brilliant performance from Nola.

He struck out seven consecutive hitters from the second through fourth innings, had a perfect game and no hitter through six and doubled to leadoff the eighth inning.
