Game 72 - Late Friday Night, June 24th in San Diego

Post-Vacation Catch-Up Post 1 of 11

One Sentence Summary:  Austin Nola singled home the only run of the game off brother Aaron Nola as the Phillies fell to the Padres, 1-0.

What It Means:  We were airborne on our way to London while this game was being played, and this was the first of 11 games we missed during our European adventure.

What Happened:  Aaron Nola pitched a gem, scattering seven hits over seven innings of work and striking out ten.  His brother Austin singled to right in the sixth inning to score Eric Hosmer with the only run of the game.  The Phillies' offense was mostly absent, collecting five hits in total and going 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position.

Featured Card:  I've already featured Nola's team-issued photo card, so here's his card from the second series of the Topps flagship set.
