PHILADELPHIA -- A year ago, Nate Fisher was employed by the First National Bank of Omaha determining whether to approve commercial loans. On Sunday, at Citizens Bank Park in his major league debut, he issued a denial to Phillies hitters.
Fisher sparkled in pitching three scoreless innings, Mark Canha hit two homers and drove in five runs and the New York Mets rallied past Philadelphia 10-9.
"It's pretty surreal right now," Fisher said. "I'm so thankful and so blessed for the opportunity. It hasn't even sunk in yet."
Fisher allowed one hit while striking out one and walking two.
