After a thrilling game-one victory over the Atlanta Braves, the Phillies took the field in game two with hopes of getting a series win. They sent Aaron Nola to the mound who came into the game 2-0 against Atlanta this season. Unfortunately, he fell to 2-1 after this tough 6-3 loss. The Braves sent NL rookie of the year candidate Spencer Strider to the mound, who has been one of the surprise pitchers in all of the MLB this season.
The game started poorly for the Phillies and Nola as the Braves scored one run in the first inning on an Austin Riley RBI double.
