PHOENIX — Bryson Stott hit his second home run in three games, Aaron Nola pitched 6 2/3 innings in impressive fashion, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-4 Thursday night to pass the . 500 mark for the first time. Suitable in more than a month.

Nola (6-5) looked great, except for the four runs he allowed in the third. The veteran right-hander allowed four runs and six hits, in a job that included a walk and nine strikeouts.
Craig Kimbrel made the ninth for his tenth save despite three court clock violations, including a two-on-one on a pat-pat.
All nine members of the starting lineup had at least one hit on Thursday, including two by Bryson Stott, Nick Castellanos, Trea Turner and Alec Baum.
Stott started the second half by finding a high fastball off Ryne Nelson (2-4) to send it into the right field bench for a single run.
