The Phillies will have to wait at least another day to secure their third straight trip to the postseason, as they fell in walk-off fashion to the Brewers 2-1. Aaron Nola pitched seven strong innings in a bounce back start, but Carlos Estévez couldn’t force extras after allowing the winning hit to Jake Bauers while the Phillies offense was shut down by Brewers pitching.
End of the streaks
The loss snapped a string of 34 straight games the Phillies had won when their starting pitcher went at least seven innings. Nola cruised through four innings before allowing a game tying home run to old friend Rhys Hoskins in the fifth.
