OOTP 6/27: Diamondbacks 10, Phillies 6

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.
The rest of the night was an admirable struggle for the team, the bullpen bleeding runs a little at a time, but the offense made it a game late.
