PHILADELPHIA -- After Clint Robinson reach third with no outs, Aaron Nola appeared to be in trouble in the second inning of the Phillis' 5-1 loss to the Nationals on Tuesday.
But Nola bore down and retired three of the next four Nats to strand Robinson on third and keep the Phillies within one. After getting Joe Ross swinging to end the frame, the typically stoic right-hander couldn't contain a fist pump as he left the mound.
Nola left for good after the sixth. The two runs he allowed came on two solo home runs.
