Phillies, Aaron Nola can’t overcome Ronald Acuña’s big day at the plate

ATLANTA — One could make the argument that Ronald Acuña Jr. single-handedly delivered a 4-3 loss to the Phillies on Saturday night. He gave the Braves a 2-0 lead with a first-pitch home run off of Aaron Nola in the bottom of the third, and then tacked on two more…

Phillies’ struggles out west continue in a blowout loss to the Diamondbacks, Zac Gallen

Aaron Nola struggles in first start in nine days as Phillies fall to Braves, 6-3
