Game 118 - 2019 Choice Lehigh Valley IronPigs #10 Tyler Gilbert

Reds 7
, Phillies 4
Game 118 - Sunday Afternoon, August 15th in Philadelphia
Record - 61-57, 2nd Place, 1 game behind the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  Aaron Nola continued his inconsistent season, as he didn't make it out of the fifth inning in this 7-4 loss to the Reds.

What It Means:  The Phillies had Zack Wheeler, Matt Moore and Nola lined up to face the Reds in this series and wound up winning only the game started by Moore.  After an off-day Monday, they'll open a three-game set in Phoenix on Tuesday night.

What Happened:  Nola dug the Phillies into a 3-0 deficit over the first three innings.  He allowed six hits,  three walks and four runs while striking out four.  The Phillies got to within a run in the fifth when Bryce Harper walked with the bases loaded and Didi Gregorius followed with a sacrifice fly to make it 4-3.  But the Reds tacked on insurance runs against relievers Connor Brogdon and Hector Neris and the offense couldn't mount a comeback.  Only Odubel Herrera had a multi-hit game with three singles.

Featured Card:  On Saturday night, Tyler Gilbert made his first big league start for the Diamondbacks and threw the season's eighth no-hitter.  Gilbert was originally drafted by the Phillies in 2015 and he was traded to the Dodgers last February for outfielder Kyle Garlick.  The Dodgers left him unprotected in the rule 5 draft and the Diamondbacks took a chance on him.  I'm happy for Gilbert and I read a lot today about how the Phillies just never gave him a chance.

Transaction:  Chase Anderson (rhp) was activated from the injured list and Adonis Medina (rhp) was optioned back to Lehigh Valley after a one-game stay.
