Aaron Nola is one of the best pitchers in Phillies history, but he has struggled mightily for the past two years.

Our @fischeronphils has more on whether he can turn things around:

Phillies acquired outfielder Derek Hill from the White Sox earlier today. He’s pretty good against LHP, but this is an indication the Phillies believe Adolis Garcia’s injury is serious. Could see a Hill/Rincones platoon in right.

Brandon Marsh stays hot and doubles home Trea Turner to put the Phillies up 1-0.

Alec Bohm has been a solid player for the Phillies, but his 2026 struggles are further evidence that he and the Phillies are headed for a divorce.

Our @fischeronphils has more on when enough will be enough for Philadelphia and its third baseman:

A new Yankees hitter takes the spotlight, while a returning arm in Tampa has reestablished himself as one of the game's best southpaws.

Jhoan Duran has thrived since arriving in Philadelphia, emerging as the lockdown closer that the Phillies have long been searching for.

Our @fischeronphils has more on Philly finally finding its 9th inning stabilizer:

Aaron Nola’s struggles continue. He’s allowed 3 runs here in the top half of the 2nd, and the Phillies now trail 3–1.

[Chris Fischer @fischeronphils]

Phillies manufacture one first inning run without a single hit. Saw 25 pitches from Abbott, and will hopefully get into the Reds’ poor bullpen early. Nola looked sharp in the top half. 1-0 Phillies heading to the 2nd.
