The Philadelphia Phillies were able to break an unbelievable streak against the Washington Nationals with Aaron Nola on the mound.
The Phillies’ offensive needs at the deadline appeared to be a right-handed outfield bat, to replace Adolis Garcia, injured in May. They got a left-hander in Luis Arraez who hits lefties well and will move Bryce Harper from first base to the outfield.
Fans shared their reactions after the Philadelphia Phillies acquired second baseman Luis Arraez and right-hander Caleb Kilian from the San Francisco Giants before the trade deadline. The Phillies sent right-handers Ramon Marquez and Marty Gair in exchange.
The Phillies are acquiring left-hander Brooks Raley from the Mets for two minor leaguers to strengthen their struggling bullpen.
Philadelphia is tied for the final spot in the Wild Card with Arizona and are 5.5 games ahead of Washington.

Philadelphia had a two-game streak of holding opponents scoreless as they’ve opened August with a 1.17 ERA (3rd) and a .163 OBA (3rd).
