After six straight victories, maybe the Phillies were due for a clunker. Aaron Nola didn’t make it though the fifth inning in a 9-5 loss to the Marlins.
Things looked good early. Kyle Schwarber doubled to lead off the game, and a Nick Castellanos single brought him home.
But Aaron Nola served up a two-run home run in the bottom of the inning.
Strange moment in the third, as a Garrett Stubbs bunt turned into a Little League triple . He took a baseball to the dome but still hit the shimmy.
Stubbs also got hit in the head with a bat.
And here’s Stubbs getting tackled by Bryce Harper as he fields a pop-up.
Taijuan Walker was pitching for the Phils by the seventh. It went the way you would expect.
These games happen from time to time. Better days ahead.
