One day, the Phillies might find a way to put together a winning streak of at least five games. But if its going to happen, we’ll have to wait at least more five games. Thanks to a bad night by Aaron Nola and the bullpen, the Phillies modest three-game streak came to an end on Wednesday night as they fell 8-5 to the Reds.
Heading into the game, the Phillies seemed to have an advantage in the starting pitching matchup. Aaron Nola - despite the team losing his previous two starts - has been very good in the second half, while Trevor Bauer has not.
