The Philadelphia Phillies pitching staff fared far better as a collective whole in their 4-4 tie Monday afternoon opposite the Baltimore Orioles at the newly renamed BayCare Ballpark.
Right-hander Aaron Nola yielded their only two earned runs — a two-run home run in the top of the first inning to right fielder DJ Stewart. The right-hander allowed two hits in the first and second innings each, but also showed positive signs by striking out a batter swinging and inducing a double play with his changeup.
