Daily News | Aaron Nola’s gem powers the Phillies past the Astros in Game 1 of their World Series rematch
HOUSTON — In the bottom of the first inning on Friday night, Alex Bregman hit a ball that traveled 346 feet. It seemed, at first, like it was gone. The Houston crowd was cheering like it was, and it technically went over the right-field wall. But before it could fall into a lucky fan’s glove, Nick Castellanos jumped, stretched out his arm, and robbed it.
He hit the wall, fell to the ground, and stayed there for a moment. By now, the cheers had subsided. As he jogged off the field, Castellanos let out a laugh. That might have been the catch of the season, and it came from a player who is not known for his defense.
Nola then induced flyout from Rylan Bannon for the second out, and Martín Maldonado was called out on strikes for the third. Nola didn’t allow a baserunner after that. He pitched eight innings, allowing three hits, one run, and no walks, with six strikeouts. It was the deepest a Phillie has pitched all season. José Alvarado pitched a 1-2-3 inning to earn the save in the ninth.Friday’s Phillies-Astros game won’t be on NBC Sports Philadelphia. Neither will Sunday’s.
The Phillies needed those types of performances from Nola, Castellanos, and Alvarado. There wasn’t much margin for error. Their lineup made hard contact off of Valdez all night but mustered just eight hits and three runs off of him. They did just enough to earn the win in a place thatin Castellanos’ words. It was only 174 days ago that the Phillies saw World Series dreams vanquished in this same ballpark, and Alvarado gave up a costly home run in that Game 6.
