Aaron Nola cruises to eighth victory on Sunday

by Dan Harris | Phillies Correspondent | Sun, Aug 7th 5:38pm EDT

Aaron Nola allowed one run on five hits and two walks over six innings on Sunday against the Nationals. He struck out five and earned the win, moving to 8-8.

Fantasy Impact:

As with most games in the series, the Phillies jumped out to a big lead early, providing Nola with a ton of cushion. Because of the big lead, he didn't need to do anything special, and so there's no reason for fantasy managers to worry about his meager nine whiffs. Nola is now down to a 3.17 ERA and 0.95 WHIP, and his strikeout rate is above 28% for the third straight season. He should be valued as a borderline top-10 starter going forward, and will take on the Mets in his next start.
