PHILADELPHIA (AP) Aaron Nola pitched six shutout innings in his first win of the season, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-2 on Saturday night.
J.T. Realmuto and Max Kepler homered for Philadelphia in its sixth win in seven games. The Phillies will try for a sweep of the weekend series on Sunday.
Nola (1-5) struck out eight in his first start since he pitched seven sparkling innings in a no-decision against the Cubs last weekend. The veteran right-hander went 0-5 with a 6.43 ERA in his first five starts of the year.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit a two-run homer for the Diamondbacks in the seventh.
The Phillies went ahead 3-0 in the second on Kepler’s two-run shot and Brandon Marsh’s RBI double.
Realmuto hit a three-run drive to deep left in the third, and the Phillies opened a 7-0 lead when Trea Turner scored from third on a throwing error by third baseman Eugenio Suárez in the fourth.
Diamondbacks starter Brandon Pfaadt (5-2) was charged with six earned runs and nine hits in 4 2/3 innings.
Nola allowed a pair of singles to lead off the second before striking out Gurriel and getting Alek Thomas to ground into an inning-ending double play.
39 – Kyle Schwarber extended his career-high on-base streak to 39 games when he was hit on the right foot by a Pfaadt pitch leading off the third inning. It was one of three hit batters in the game, with Nola plunking Corbin Carroll and Pfaadt also hitting Alec Bohm.
Diamondbacks left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (1-3, 6.06 ERA) pitches on Sunday, and left-hander Ranger Suárez makes his season debut for the Phillies.
