Aaron Nola took a step backward as the Phillies lose three straight games.
The key to the game, and the biggest cause for concern, was that starter Aaron Nola, coming off two strong starts, took a big step backward.
So if the Phillies beat Milwaukee, it also helps the Cubs. When they fall to the Brewers, as have the last two games, it hurts Chicago. Simple. That’s not much solace considering that starting pitching tends to be a decisive factor in the postseason and Nola got knocked around again Saturday. Against Milwaukee, the Phillies Opening Day starter struck out the side, sandwiched around a walk, while he was staked to a quick lead on solo homers by Kyle Schwarber in the first and J.T. Realmuto in the second.
