Aaron Nola was charged with eight runs (seven earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out five over 4 1/3 innings in Monday's 11-7 loss to the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
Just when Nola seemed to be finding a bit of a rhythm on the mound, his struggles returned Monday night. The veteran righty kept the Pirates off the board over the first three frames, but Nola surrendered a two-run homer in the fourth before the wheels came off in the fifth. Nola's ERA jumped back over 6.00 on the season, and he's picked up just three wins through 17 starts.
Aaron Nola allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact
The long ball continues to plague Nola, as he allowed solo shots in the first and second innings of Wednesday's game. However, that was all the scoring the Nationals mustered against the veteran righty, as Nola settled down and rolled off three straight shutout frames before leaving after the fifth. His ERA still sits at an ugly 5.58 with a 1.45 WHIP through 16 starts, but Nola is showing positive signs going into the second half of the season. He'll face the Pirates on Monday.
Aaron Nola allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Mets.
Fantasy Impact
It appeared Nola might be in for another shaky outing Thursday, as the Mets put up a two-spot in the first inning. However, the veteran righty settled down and only allowed one more run over the next four frames. Nola is still lugging around an ugly 5.71 ERA and 1.48 WHIP through 15 starts. However, this effort was at least somewhat encouraging. Fantasy managers should still keep tabs on Nola.
Aaron Nola allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over 4 2/3 innings in Saturday's 9-8 win over the Brewers.
Fantasy Impact
Staked to an early three-run advantage in this one, Nola gave all those runs back by surrendering homers in the fourth and fifth innings Saturday night. This slugfest was ultimately decided we'll after Nola exited, but it was yet another relatively inefficient outing for the veteran righty. He'll move forward with a lofty 5.86 ERA and 1.47 WHIP for the year.
Aaron Nola allowed five runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four across 4 1/3 innings in Sunday's 9-5 win over the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact
The Phillies offense bailed Nola out in this one, as the veteran righty just never seemed to get too comfortable on the mound Sunday afternoon. It's been a roller coaster of inconsistency for Nola through 13 starts this season. He was coming off two quality outings going into this start, but now it'll be back to the drawing board before a tough matchup in Milwaukee next weekend.
