70-58, 2nd Place, 4 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Aaron Nola pitched like it was 2018, allowing a run on five hits in seven strong innings, as the Phillies downed the Marlins, 4-1.
What It Means: This was win number six in a row and the Cardinals would come to town next for a three-game set beginning on Friday night.
What Happened: Nola was fantastic. He struck out eight, and the only run allowed was a solo home run in the sixth from Javier Sanoja. Garrett Stubbs beat out an infield hit in the second for the game's first run and Luis Arraez launched a two-run home run to right center field to give the Phillies a 3-0 lead. An unneeded insurance run scored in the seventh when Kyle Schwarber somehow eluded a tag at the plate, scoring on a Trea Turner double.
Featured Card: Maybe it's the magic of the Field of Dreams? In his last two starts, Nola is 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA in 12 innings pitched. His only two runs allowed are from solo home runs.
Transaction: Shortly after this game ended, the Phillies announced the signing of Nestor Cortes (lhp) and Brian Keller (rhp) was designated for assignment to make room for Cortes on the 40-man roster. Cortes was an All-Star with the Yankees in 2022, a year in which he won a career-high 12 games and had a 2.44 ERA over 28 starts. He last pitched for the Brewers and Padres in 2025, showing up in a combined eight starts and going 2-4 with a 6.29 ERA.
