Aaron Nola delivered a strong performance for the Phillies, pitching six innings with three hits and two earned runs in a 4-1 loss to the Mariners. Despite Nola’s impressive 2.60 ERA over his last six starts, the Phillies’ bats struggled against George Kirby, who allowed only one run in 7 2/3 innings. Orion Kerkering faced challenges in the seventh, leading to two runs for Seattle. The Phillies, who entered the game on a nine-game winning streak, risk being swept in the series.
