Sportsnaut on MSNNL East Notes: Phillies' Aaron Nola Bombs in Comeback Start, Mets Finally Win Series
The Mets took two of three from the red-hot Mariners over the weekend, including a 7-3 win on Sunday night during the Little League Classic in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. It was the first series the Mets had won since sweeping the San Francisco Giants from July 25-27.
Saturday night, news dropped that the Phillies were placing ace righty Zack Wheeler on the injured list due to a blood clot in his shoulder area. More on that in a second. Sunday, veteran right-hander Aaron Nola returned from a lengthy stint on the injured list.
Aaron Nola hit another wall in his return, but the Phillies were able to overcome it to split a four-game set in D.C., though now with the high uncertainy of Zack Wheeler's status looming.
BOTTOM LINE: The Washington Nationals face the Philadelphia Phillies, leading the series 2-1. Washington is 24-37 at home and 50-73 overall. The Nationals have gone 29-15 in games when they did not allow a home run.
