Phillies No-Hit by Cristian Javier and Astros Relievers in Game 4 Loss
The Astros won Game 4 in convincing fashion, tagging two of the Phillies' best, starter Aaron Nola and reliever Jose Alvarado, for five runs in the fifth inning.
The Phillies' Nos. 3 through 6 hitters, J.T. Realmuto, Bryce Harper, Nick Castellanos and Alec Bohm, were a combined 0 for 12 with 11 strikeouts and a walk. He then beat St. Louis and Atlanta in the first two rounds of the playoffs, allowing just an unearned run in 12⅔ innings. But it's been a struggle for Nola in his last three. He was lit up for six runs in 4⅔ innings by San Diego in Game 2 of the NLCS. Now, in two World Series starts against Houston, he's given up eight runs in 8⅓ innings.
