Wife and I are out this evening, at an art show opening in Doylestown. Enjoy the game!
Lately, I always feel we have a good chance to win when Nola starts. He's all the way back.
Actually, it is better than that. When he was drafted and a rookie everyone was happy that we had a solid #3 guy who was smart but a little limited in "stuff". Now he has added a couple MPH and seems to still have movement, he now is a guy who really could be an Ace.
And apparently it's because McClure and Ray Burris worked with him on mechanics
Bottom of 1st:Hernandez walksGalvis hits 2-run HR to deeeep RF

Brett Philips opposite field 2-out HR makes it 2-1 in the top of the second.
Bottom of 2nd:Joseph grounds out to SS.Odubel walks (bat flip towards correct dugout).Knapp opposite field single to LF.Nola sacrifice bunt, Garza throws to 3B and everyone is safe.Hernandez grounds out to first baseman who throws home for 2nd out.Galvis flies out to RF to end inning.
