PHILADELPHIA — — Aaron Nola struck out 10 and threw a two-hitter for his first nine-inning shutout in the majors, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 2-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.
Bryce Harper homered and had three hits for the Phillies.
Nola (1-1) threw 109 pitches and did little more than give a small fist bump when he completed the milestone.
Nola allowed only two singles and retired 13 straight going into the eighth. He did not walk a batter.
Losing pitcher John Gant struck out five and walked five in five innings. He slips to 0-2.
The Cardinals send RHP Jack Flaherty (2-0, 4.11 ERA) to the mound Monday at Washington.
5:10 with the pregame and the first pitch at 6:05 on KIRX.
