Aaron Nola and the Philadelphia Phillies shut down the New York Mets, who were swept in the Queens half of their home-and-home four-game set with a 4-0 loss
on Tuesday afternoon at Citi Field.) were blanked by Nola for the first five innings — the Phillies starter setting down the first 15 men he faced on Tuesday. Tyrone Taylor spoiled the perfect-game bid with a clean single to left to lead off the sixth.
The Phillies scored two runs in the third inning despite recording just one hit off Jose Butto. Following a lead-off single by Johan Rojas, New York’s starter walked Kyle Schwarber and Bryson Stott to load the bases with two outs. He then proceeded to hit Alec Bohm and walk Brandon Marsh to plate a pair.
While Taylor’s single avoided the Mets becoming a dubious footnote in the history books, Nola got right back on track. He retired the next three men he faced and needed just three pitches to get through the seventh inning. After Starling Marte singled on the first pitch, Francisco Lindor lined out to second base on the first pitch he saw. Pete Alonso ended the inning by grounding into a double play on just one pitch.
