PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Aaron Nola struck out 11 and allowed just five hits in his second career nine-inning shutout as the Philadelphia Phillies closed out a four-game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds with a 4-0 victory. Edmundo Sosa had three RBIs from the ninth spot in the lineup and Kyle Schwarber hit his National League-leading 35th homer of the season. The Phillies increased their lead to 2 1/2 games over idle San Diego for the second NL wild-card spot. Philadelphia has a four-game lead over Milwaukee. Nola made short work of the Reds inexperienced lineup, cruising through the first seven innings on only 69 pitches while yielding only a single and finishing with 101 pitches.
