Phillies’ Nola allows six runs in 2 1/3 innings in his return, Bohm homers in his first game back
Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola’s first start after returning from the injured list didn’t last long.
Sure, the Phillies rallied for an 11-9 victory, scoring five runs against the last-place Nationals’ putrid bullpen and surviving a three-run rally in the ninth that brought the tying run to the plate and forced manager Rob Thomson to use closer Jhoan Duran.
"Nola allowed one run in 3 2/3 innings in a 12-1, seven-inning victory, the 287th for manager Anthony Contreras," Ty Daubert wrote for Phillies Nation. "Contreras, who's led the IronPigs since 2022, now holds the franchise record for managerial wins."
