Game 138 - Tuesday Night, September 7th in Milwaukee
Record - 71-67, 2nd Place, 2 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: A day after the Phillies buried the Brewers, the Brewers returned the favor in this 10-0 thrashing.
What It Means: The Braves won their game, dropping the Phillies 2 1/2 games behind them for first place in the division. The Phillies are two games behind in the second wild card race, still trailing the Reds and Padres.
What Happened: The Phillies pitching wasn't great, but the offense wasn't much better. The Phillies had five singles against Eric Lauer and a pair of Milwaukee relievers. Nola went five innings, giving up three runs in the third on a few softly hit balls and a misplay by shortstop Freddy Galvis. Ramon Rosso, Cam Bedrosian and Enyel De Los Santos combined to pitch three innings, allowing seven runs on six hits.
Featured Card: Nola struck out his 1,000th batter, becoming the 37th Phillies pitcher to reach that mark. His season has deviated from dazzling to bad to mediocre. As Matt Gelb Tweeted, Nola's season ERA is 4.57, which ranks 53rd among 67 pitchers with at least 120 innings pitched.
