The Philadelphia Phillies snapped a 17-inning scoreless streak and rallied past the Colorado Rockies for a 4-3 win on Friday.
Friday night it was Aaron Nola who, incredibly, became the fourth straight Phillies start to give up a first-inning homer, all with at least one on. This time it was a three-run shot off the bat of third baseman Ryan McMahon.
Said Nola: “I felt good the first inning. McMahon put a pretty good swing on a fastball when I was behind in the count but I just tried to wipe that as best as I could and just stick with my plan. Everything felt pretty good for the most part. I want to go deep in the game and sometimes that happens in the first inning. It kind of stinks, but you just have to overcome it and stick with the plan.”
They loaded the bases with nobody out after Nick Castellanos reached on a fielding error by third baseman Ryan McMahon, Brandon Marsh lined a clean single to right and Realmuto was hit by a pitch. At least, home plate umpire Alex Tosi ruled that the ball brushed his jersey. Rockies manager Bud Black came out and argued long and strenuously enough to get himself ejected.
Stott was 0-for-4 with a walk in the game. It was just the second time this season he’s been held without a hit.
