The Brewers beat the Phillies 4-1 Wednesday. Aaron Nola allowed all four runs, and the Phillies went 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position, their worst mark of the season. Philadelphia scored once after loading the bases with no outs in the second.
Brice Turang and Christian Yelich hit solo home runs in the first and second innings, respectively, and William Contreras drove in two with a third-inning single.
The Phillies’ magic number remained at two and could drop to one depending on results in Colorado and Los Angeles. Andrew Painter was slated to start the next game as Philadelphia sought a series win and a possible playoff berth; Milwaukee planned a bullpen game while pursuing its first 100-win season.
