Tonight marks Aaron Nola's 31st start at Citizens Bank Park. Since June 22, 2017, he's allowed three runs or fewer in 26 of 30 starts in Philly and is 19-5 with a 2.35 ERA in those contests. His 199 1/3 innings at home over that span ranks third in all of baseball behind only Max Scherzer (209.1) and Corey Kluber 203.2).
A little history
Victor Arano became just the second Phillies' reliever since 1900 to complete two perfect innings with six strikeouts on Sunday. Willie Hernandez accomplished the feat back in 1983. Yesterday's contest also marked just the second time since 1900 that the Phillies bullpen tossed at least eight innings and collected 14 strikeouts.
