Even if this recap was just rehashing things that happened in this game with no further discussion, it would still be one of the more memorable (and frustrating) games the Phillies have played in a while. Let’s take a quick trip down the line and remember what happened:
- Aaron Nola took a perfect game into the 7th inning.
- The Phillies took the lead in a tie game following two bases-loaded HBPs.
- Aaron Nola had a career-high pitch count and went the distance in 9 full innings.
- Jake Cronenworth, who beat out Alec Bohm to become 2020 NL Rookie of the Year, hit a dramatic 2-run homer to tie the game in the bottom of the 9th.
