Nola, Phillies hold on to beat the Red Sox

Led by their ace Aaron Nola, the Philadelphia Phillies (65-60) held on to take the first of two against the Boston Red Sox (67-60) at Fenway Park. Nola was in top form once again, only giving up two earned runs over seven dominant innings. The Phillies offense came through in the first, but cooled off considerably as the game went along. A few key defensive plays, along with two horrendous base running mistakes from the Red Sox ultimately pushed the Phillies to victory in the later innings.

The Phillies wasted no time going to work at the plate tonight.
