Daily News | Joe Girardi ejected as Phillies fall, 5-4, to Mariners behind luckless Aaron Nola
SEATTLE — The umpires refused to get a closer look, so Joe Girardi decided he had seen enough.
The controversial play that earned Girardi his first ejection since last Sept. 17 -- and the seventh of his tenure as Phillies manager -- began with second baseman Jean Segura’s diving stop of Frazier’s grounder to the right side. Segura threw off-balance from one knee, and Hoskins made a backhand scoop of the one-hop peg.
But Nola turned over a two-on, one-out sixth-inning jam to lefty Brad Hand, who allowed the inherited runners to score when he walked Frazier to load the bases, hit Ty France with a two-strike slider, and gave up a sacrifice fly to J.P. Crawford.Nola entered with a 2.13 ERA -- but an 0-4 record -- in his last four starts, a logic-defying stretch.Nola’s lucklessness persisted against the Mariners.
“He’s a guy that knows how to hit,” Girardi said. “He’s a hitter first, and then he’ll hit his doubles and hit his home runs. He’s more of a pure hitter.”Facing his former team for the first time since he was traded after the 2018 season, Segura is having a stellar series.
