Starting pitcher Aaron Nola was good once again, just not good enough on this day, and the Phillies bats disappeared over the final three innings as the San Diego Padres ruined the home opener at Citizens Bank Park by hanging a 4-3 loss on the home team.
Nola allowed just six hits over seven innings, striking out nine and walking no one. But three of the hits that he allowed went for extra bases, and all would eventually create runs for the Padres on the day.
In the top of the 3rd, Alexi Ramirez and Alexi Amarista led off with back-to-back singles off Nola.
