Nola then appeared to settle down, striking Harrison Bader out on three pitches for his seventh punchout of the game. But then Lindor and Vientos both singled to set up yet another three-run home run, this time from Nimmo. That ended Nola’s outing after 4.1 IP, his second straight start where he failed to get out of the fifth inning. He allowed 6 runs on 6 hits, all of which came in the fifth inning, with two walks and 7 strikeouts on 90 pitches.

Nothing doing over here either

The Phillies offense did nothing to dig themselves out of the hole that their starter put them in. Bryce Harper doubled in the first but was stranded. Johan Rojas legged out an infield single in the third but was thrown out trying to steal second. That was Philadelphia’s only offense until Kyle Schwarber notched an infield single on a cue shot towards third in the sixth. But he too was quickly stranded when Trea Turner flew out to right.

Those were the only baserunners the Phillies offense managed on the night until the ninth inning when Brandon Marsh hit a three-run home run following walks to Schwarber and Harper.

Mopping up

Jose Ruiz took over for Nola in the fifth and allowed a hit before finally bringing the inning to a close after ten Mets came to the plate. Max Lazar allowed 3 runs on 4 hits in 2.2 IP including yet another three run home run. Tyler Gilbert and Kody Clemens then got the last few outs to put this game out of its misery.
