Episode Details

The Phillies suffered a 6-2 loss to the Braves, ending their series and extending their skid. Aaron Nola struggled early, allowing a 3-run homer and 2-run homer, contributing to a 6-0 deficit. Nolas fastball location is off, leading to 86 homers since 2023, second-most among starters with 500 innings. Phillys pitchers lead the league in pitches per inning, with many high-pitch frames and innings allowing 2 or more runs. The lack of 7-inning outings from starters has burdened the bullpen, which is third in the NL. Against lefty starters, the Phillies are 0-10, and right-handed hitters have a .501 OPS versus southpaws, the lowest since 1974. The Phillies need to address these issues to end their early-season slump.
