Daily News | Austin Nola drives in game’s only run to beat the Phillies and his brother, Aaron Nola
SAN DIEGO — Padres catcher Austin Nola entered Friday night’s game with no hits against his little brother, Phillies starter Aaron Nola. They’d only faced each other once before, on Aug. 21, 2021, when Aaron carried a perfect game into the seventh inning. The best Austin could do that night was a walk; he ended up going 0-for-2 with a strikeout. The first hit against his brother would have to wait.
Austin got his revenge in the bottom of the sixth. Aaron had allowed no runs and only five hits when Austin stepped to the plate. With Eric Hosmer on second base, he roped a line-drive single to right field to put the Padres on the board, 1-0. It ultimately proved to be enough to give his team the 1-0 win over the Phillies on Friday night. The camera caught Austin grinning over at his brother from first base.
This four-game series against San Diego is now tied at 1-1. The Phillies are 37-35 and return to Petco Park at 10:10 p.m. Saturday.After a night in which the Phillies put up six runs off of one of the best pitchers in the league in Joe Musgrove, their bats went silent on Friday. They were facing another tough pitcher in Mackenzie Gore, but not one nearly as tough as Musgrove. Regardless, Gore held them to just three hits and no runs, with four walks.
The Phillies hit the ball hard — three of the five hardest hits of the night came from Bohm and Vierling — but none of those fell for hits. After the game, Schwarber remarked on how the Phillies’ offense seems to come up short on Nola’s best days.
