What’s worse than your ace getting knocked around in the first inning of a game?
How about that same ace having to exit thanks to an injury!
This was not a fun game.
The game was just a bust. It started out terrible, Aaron Nola allowing two runs in the first inning before he even got the first out thanks to a single, single, double and sacrifice fly. Once that inning was over, Nola went straight to the locker room with an injury, ending his night and casting a pall over the rest of the game.
