[EastFallowfield]

Meghan Montemurro:

Nola's 2.24 ERA is the lowest by a Phillies SP through 25 starts since Chris Short in 1964 (a 1.97 ERA), according to Elias. Yes, even better than Halladay in his 2010 Cy Young season.

[Varjak]

So what are the chances that the Phillies get outscored in this series but still win four out of five anyway.

[EastFallowfield]

Braves down 6-1, finding it harder to win when not playing the Marlins

[DurhamBull]

I love how the Phils took advantage of the running game tonight. When they have Franco and Santana steal, it’s almost like they’re thumbing their nose at Syndergaard.

[LoneStarPhan]

Phillies had 5 stolen bases this game: Hernandez, Franco, Santana, and Alfaro 2.

Hernandez with 2 hits again tonight. Starting 8 all had a hit except Hoskins, who did walk twice.

Phillies scored 3 in the first inning, which was all they really needed tonight with Nola starting.

Record now 68-54.

Braves lose to the Rockies and are 68-53. They remain in first place but only 1/2 game ahead of the Phillies. The Nationals win to move over .500 at 62-61.

[zambonir]

Still the second best team in the NL. Cubs also happen to be the only team in the entire NL with a current three-game winning streak.
