Game 21 - Friday Night, April 29th in Flushing
Record - 10-11, Tied for 3rd Place, 5 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Tylor Megill and a quartet of Mets relievers no-hit the Phillies in this 3-0 loss.
What It Means: It was the 20th time in franchise history the Phillies had been no-hit, the first no-hitter thrown against them since the Dodgers' Josh Beckett did it in 2014, and the first time the Phillies had been on the receiving end of a combined no-hitter. It only counts as one loss, and the Phillies will try to start a new winning streak tonight.
What Happened: Aaron Nola pitched six innings, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out nine. We liked the Phillies' chances of getting a hit in the ninth, as they had Bryce Harper, Nick Castellanos and J.T. Realmuto coming up. All three were struck out swinging by Edwin Diaz.
Featured Card: Megill pitched the first five innings, with Drew Smith, Joely Rodriguez, Seth Lugo and Diaz preserving the no-hit bid. This is inexplicably the second time this month Rodriguez is the unlikely featured card in a game summary post, as I featured a minor league card of his following an early season loss to the Mets. This is Rodriguez's 2017 Chachi card.
