Austin Nola had an RBI single off his younger brother Aaron in the sixth inning, and the San Diego Padres beat the Philadelphia Phillies 1-0 on Friday.
It’s the first time since RBI became an official stat in 1920 that a player has driven in a run off his brother in a 1-0 win, according to STATS. San Diego’s rookie left-hander MacKenzie Gore and three relievers combined to allow five hits. Closer Taylor Rogers had the bases loaded with two outs in the ninth before Kyle Schwarber flied out to center field. Austin Nola had gone 0-for-4 against his brother in two seasons until he singled to right field with one out in the sixth inning, driving in Eric Hosmer, who had reached base with a double . Other than the hit he took from his brother, Aaron Nola (4-5) pitched well. He allowed one run and seven hits in seven innings, with 10 strikeouts and two walks. Nabil Crismatt (4-0) pitched two perfect innings for the win. Puerto Rican Luis Garcia struck out the most powerful sluggers in the batting order in the eighth inning. Rogers allowed the bases to be loaded with two outs, allowing back-to-back singles and then giving pinch-hitter Yairo Munoz a free walk with two outs before retiring Schwarber for his 22nd save. For the Phillies, Panamanian Johan Camargo 3-0. For the Padres, Dominican Nomar Mazara 1-0. The Venezuelan José Azócar 3-2.
