The New York Mets aren't used to losing series. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Phillies aren't used to nights like Thursday, when their ace pitcher earned a win and their defense was solid. The Mets will look to avoid their first three-game losing streak of the season Friday night when they host thePhillies in the opener of a three-game series.
Nola struck out 10 while pitching shutout ball into the ninth for his first victory since opening day, leading the Philadelphia Phillies over the Atlanta Braves 4-1 on Thursday night. J.T. Realmuto homered as the Phillies prevented the World Series champion Braves from posting their first three-game winning streak this season. Philadelphia had lost each of Nola’s previous eight starts, but he had a 3.69 ERA over that stretch.
Winning the game, of course, but mostly, they just ask that the game be uneventful. However it ends, they would rather the game just be decided early on, one way or another. All of these close games, games that end wildly or involved multiple head scratching plays, they’re the ones that get the fans riled up.
