Slow start by All-Star Nola as Phillies lose to Marlins 2-0

MIAMI -- All-Star Aaron Nola gave up two runs in the first inning and the punchless Philadelphia Phillies never recovered, losing Saturday to the Miami Marlins 2-0.

The NL East-leading Phillies have scored only 24 runs in their past nine games.

Nola (12-3) needed 31 pitches to get through the first. After he loaded the bases with none out, one run scored on a groundout, and another came home on Martin Prado's two-out single.

In that one inning, Nola surrendered as many runs as he had given up in his previous three starts combined.
