Nola dominates Mets in 3-0 win as Phillies tie Cubs for top NL wild card
By JERRY BEACH
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) --- Aaron Nola allowed three hits over seven innings and the
Philadelphia Phillies beat the Mets 3-0 Thursday night to tie the Chicago Cubs
for the top NL wild card in a game interrupted by a scary collision that led to
New York first baseman Jared Young being carted off the field.
Young was knocked down when pitcher Nolan McLean struck him on the head with a
knee when the two converged for Justin Crawford's slow grounder in the sixth.
Young was motionless on the field after the collision and taken to a hospital.
New York manager Andy Green said a CT scan was negative and Young had
concussion symptoms.
Nola (7-10) didn't allow a hit until Nick Morabito singled with one out in the
sixth. He struck out four and walked three, improving to 4-2 with a 2.07 ERA in
his last 10 starts.
Jonathan Bowlan got two outs in the eighth before exiting due to right groin
tightness with a 2-2 count on Francisco Lindor. Jhoan Duran pitched a one-hit
ninth for his 32nd save in 34 chances, finishing the Phillies' major
league-high 19th shutout.
Philadelphia is 85-68, the same as the Cubs. The Phillies closed within four
games of NL East-leading Atlanta (89-64).
New York has been blanked 15 times.
Bryce Harper had an RBI single and Luis Arraez and Crawford had sacrifice flies
as the Phillies.
McLean (11-10) allowed one run, seven hits and three walks in five innings
while striking out fives.
Up next
Newly acquired RHP Jos Urquidy (2-2, 5.28 ERA) is expected to pitch for the
Phillies in some capacity Friday against Mets LHP Zac Thornton (4-5, 3.44 ERA).
