SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Philadelphia Phillies got their offense
jump-started. Aaron Nola took care of the rest.Nola pitched six scoreless
innings Trevor
Cahill Jersey , Maikel Franco and Cesar Hernandez homered, and the
Phillies beat the San Diego Padres 5-1 on Saturday night.The Phillies had been
shut out in their previous two games and went 18 consecutive innings without
scoring at Petco Park, dating back to last season, before they put two on the
board in the first inning.“Anytime you are able to jump on the opposition early
with a guy like Aaron Nola on the mound it gives you a lot of confidence,”
manager Gabe Kapler said.Nola (13-3) struck out five, gave up four hits and
lowered his ERA to 2.28 as the Phillies moved one game ahead of second-place
Atlanta in the NL East.Franco blasted a 2-0 fastball from Walker Lockett (0-3)
into the second balcony of the Western Metal Supply Co. building in left field
in the fourth inning to put the Phillies up 3-0.Hernandez hit his career-high
10th homer in the fifth, and Carlos Santana followed with an RBI groundout to
score Rhys
Hoskins Melky
Cabrera Jersey , making it 5-0 and chasing Lockett. The rookie allowed
five runs in 4 1/3 innings.“I think the story of the game for him is when he was
ahead in the count, he won the at-bat,” Padres manager Andy Green said of
Lockett. “When he was behind in the count, they won the at-bat.”The Phillies
went ahead in the first on Nick Williams’ RBI triple and Asdrubal Cabrera’s
run-scoring double.“We’re playing as a team, we’re playing as a whole,” Nola
said. “Guys are coming up clutch throughout the whole team.”The Padres got their
only run in the seventh after reliever Austin Davis surrendered a triple to Cory
Spangenberg and a walk. Victor Arano came in and allowed Manuel Margot’s
sacrifice fly before retiring the next two batters.Tommy Hunter and Seranthony
Dominguez blanked the Padres the rest of the way.“I think our starting pitching
has taken real steps forward from where they were at the beginning of the
season, and maybe the bullpen has been even better than we thought it was going
to
be http://www.angelsfanproshop.com/authenti...art-jersey ,”
Kapler said.Robert Stock, Phil Maton and Trey Wingenter combined to pitch 4 2/3
innings of scoreless relief for San Diego.TRAINER’S ROOMPadres: Wil Myers, on
the 10-day disabled with a left foot contusion, will play third base Sunday
during a rehab assignment at Single-A Lake Elsinore. Myers was an All-Star first
baseman in 2015 and began this season as an outfielder.“I don’t think we’d ask
him to play third base in the minors if we had absolutely no intention of him
ever manning that position in the big leagues,” Green said.UP NEXTPhillies: RHP
