Phillies Defeat Astros 5-0 Behind Nola

Aaron Nola delivered a dominant performance with seven shutout innings, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-0 victory over the Houston Astros on Tuesday, securing their fourth consecutive win. Nick Castellanos contributed significantly with a three-run homer in the third inning, while Trea Turner and Bryce Harper added key hits. Despite a strong effort from rookie Spencer Arrighetti, who carried a no-hit bid into the eighth inning, the Astros suffered a 10-0 defeat on Wednesday, highlighted by Yordan Alvarez's three home runs. Cristopher Sanchez struck out eight but did not factor into the decision during Thursday's game against Atlanta. The Phillies have now won nine of their last 13 games, maintaining a healthy lead in the NL East.
