Nola ends brilliant ’18 campaign with 8-K gem

The Phillies’ bats awoke in the seventh inning of Saturday night’s 3-0 win over the Braves at Citizens Bank Park to back Aaron Nola’s final gem of 2018 and avoid a 10-game losing streak. With seven scoreless frames of two-hit ball, Nola finished a remarkable season with a 2.37 ERA in 212 1/3 innings. Cesar Hernandez opened the scoring in the seventh inning with a bases-loaded single that plated Jose Bautista and Scott Kingery.
