One Sentence Summary: Aaron Nola was fantastic, taking a no-hit bid into the sixth inning, as the Phillies shut down the Mets in this 3-0 win.
What It Means: The magic number to clinch a playoff spot has dropped to 5.
What Happened: Nola's no-hitter ended with one out in the sixth when Nick Morabito connected for a clean single to left. Nola then induced a double play to end the inning. He has a 2.10 ERA over his last 10 starts, which is not something I saw coming before the All-Star break. Bryce Harper singled home Brandon Marsh with the game's first run in the fifth. Luis Arraez and Justin Crawford added sac flies in the seventh and eighth innings. Jonathan Bowlan left the game with a groin injury, further depleting an already shaky bullpen, and Jhoan Duran recorded his 32nd save.
Featured Card: Here's Nola's card from the Kids Club/Club 215 set available at the ballpark. When we last visited the club kiosk prior to the game on September 8th, they were all out of Duran cards for the year.
Transaction: In need of pitching depth, the Phillies claimed Jose Urquidy (rhp) off waivers from the Chicago White Sox and transferred Caleb Killian to the 60-day injured list. Urquidy was a 13-game winner with the Astros in 2022 and pitched three scoreless innings against the Phillies in relief in the World Series. In 11 games with the Pirates and White Sox this season, he's 2-2 with a 5.28 ERA in 29 innings pitched.
