Nola Dominates Mets in 3-0 Win as Phillies Tie Cubs for Top NL Wild Card
Aaron Nola allowed three hits over seven innings as Philadelphia moved into a tie with the Cubs for the NL wild card lead.
On Thursday, Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola allowed three hits over seven innings, leading the Phillies to a 3-0 victory over the New York Mets and tying the Chicago Cubs for the top National League wild card spot.
Nola has dominated recently with a 2.10 ERA over his last 10 starts, proving critical as the Phillies overcame a dismal 9-19 start to remain in contention for their fifth consecutive postseason appearance.
Philadelphia broke a scoreless tie in the fifth inning when Trea Turner scored after a replay review overturned an out call, while sacrifice flies by Luis Arraez and Justin Crawford added insurance runs.
The game was interrupted in the sixth inning after Mets first baseman Jared Young collided with pitcher Nolan McLean; manager Andy Green noted Young had concussion symptoms but maintained feeling in his extremities.
With nine games remaining, the Phillies' magic number to clinch a playoff berth is down to five, while Philadelphia sits just four games behind East-leading Atlanta in the standings.
