Red Sox 2, Phillies 3: Aaron Nola shuts ‘em down

Well, the win streak was never going to last forever, and in fact it ended at five games. Heading into this series that put Brian Johnson up against Aaron Nola, things were bleak before the first pitch was even thrown. Then, the first pitch was thrown, and then a few more and eventually the Phillies had a 3-0 lead before Nola even had to throw a pitch. As it turns out, that would be enough. The good news is Boston’s bullpen had a great day, and the Phillies didn’t score again after that first inning.
