Daily News | Aaron Nola and Nick Castellanos lead the way in 8-4 victory over Toronto Blue Jays
Steven M. Falk / Staff PhotographerAaron Nola’s second pitch of the sixth inning Tuesday night landed in the right-field bleachers. He walked the next batter, then gave up a single to put the go-ahead run on base. There were no outs.pitchers have tended to do early in the season — and the pitch clock era — Nola took a breath during a mound visit, pulled it together, and got three outs to walk off the mound with a one-run lead intact en route to an 8-4 victory over the Blue Jays.
But like many experienced pitchers, Nola has found the quicker pace of the game to be an adjustment. On opening day, the Phillies staked him to a 5-0 lead before he came undone in a nine-run fourth inning in Texas. There have been other big innings, too. Bichette tagged a Nola curveball for a leadoff homer in the sixth. But when the Jays had him against the ropes, Nola got Matt Chapman to ground into a fielder’s choice before striking out Brandon Belt and inducing a groundout from Alejandro Kirk.Castellanos wasn’t thrilled with an up-and-in 93-mph fastball from Jays starter Alek Manoah in the fourth inning. So, on the next pitch, he lifted a ball to left field and wrapped it around the foul pole for a two-run homer.
