Aaron Nola only lasted three innings against the Washington Nationals last time out before tonight, in a 9-8 loss in D.C. in which he received no decision after giving up a total of five hits (three of them home runs), two walks, and six earned runs.
It was the most earned runs off of the Philadelphia Phillies’ right-hander since September of 2017.
Davey Martinez’s squad will hope for a repeat of those results tonight, in the second game of their three-game series in Citizens Bank Park after coming up short in the series opener last night.
