Final Score: Phillies 7, Yankees 0
Three straight walk-off wins are great, but the Phillies needed to establish even more momentum before heading off for a week of road games against two of the best teams in Major League Baseball in the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants. The Yankees lineup was missing both Aaron Judge (back spasms) and Giancarlo Stanton (can’t play the outfield) and Aaron Nola took advantage of it.
For the 20th time in his career, Nola struck out at least nine batters while walking no more than one hitter. Joe Girardi’s decision to pull Nola after 7 2/3 innings and 103 pitches was not well received by the more than 38,000 fans in attendance.
