Last night’s 8-5 loss to the Braves wasn’t as crushing as previous 8-5 losses started by Aaron Nola in Atlanta, but it was a tough one to swallow, nonetheless.
After falling in a 2-0, 1st inning hole, the Phils fought back numerous times, and it looked for a moment as if they had taken the lead in the top of the 8th when Kyle Schwarber appeared to rip a two-out, two-run double into the right field corner to give them a 6-5 lead. Unfortunately, Nick Castellanos took an hour-and-a-half going from first-to-home in which the relay throw was sent in to 2nd base and then thrown home.
