Let’s just pretend last night’s 5-0 to the Dodgers never happened, OK?
After all, who knows what would have occurred if a torrential downpour hadn’t interrupted an incredible pitcher’s duel between Max Scherzer and Aaron Nola, one in which the two hurlers combined for 13 strikeouts over 7.1 innings before the rains came? Yes, it snapped the Phils’ 8-game winning streak and left them with a scant one game lead over the Braves in the NL East and a two-game lead over a Mets team that had their own game against the Nationals suspended last night due to similar bad weather.
