It’s win day with Aaron Nola on the mound for the Phillies against the Toronto Blue Jays
Aaron Nola will look to take game two for the Phillies after a disappointing comeback attempt Friday evening that left the Phillies with a 6-5 loss.
Now in a late-afternoon home game Philadelphia has an opportunity for the offense to pick up what they left on the field last night with the bases loaded and one out. Toronto is sending Jamie García to the mound after a stint on the disabled list and having one position player make a surprise start this afternoon.
