Aaron Nola allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over 4 2/3 innings in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Rockies.
Fantasy Impact
Nola was not able to replicate his dominant form from his win over the Marlins on Monday, but the righty wasn't necessarily bad in this one. Up to 94 pitches and in a bit of a jam, Philly skipper Don Mattingly decided to pull Nola with two outs in the top of the fifth. Nola's ERA still sits above 5.00 through eight starts, but his 44 strikeouts over 42 innings is a positive. He will return to the bump Friday in Pittsburgh.
Aaron Nola allowed just five hits and no walks with five strikeouts across six scoreless innings in Monday's 1-0 win over the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
Nola needed a performance like this in the worst way. The veteran righty entered Monday with an ERA north of 6.00 after surrendering 11 earned runs over nine innings between his previous two outings. Nola was given some extra rest ahead of this start, and that seemed to do the trick for him. He will look to build off this effort Saturday against the Rockies.
Phillies’ interim manager Don Mattingly told reporters on Friday that Aaron Nola’s next start will be pushed back until Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Nola will get one extra day of rest after he had been scheduled to start on Sunday. He will be in line for two starts next week.
Aaron Nola labored through 4 2/3 innings in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Braves, giving up six earned runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out six.
Fantasy Impact
The strikeout rate is still pretty strong for Nola, as he has punched out 35 batters across 31 1/3 innings so far this season. That's really where the positives end for the veteran righty. Nola has given up at least three runs in five of his six starts and has failed to get out of the fifth inning in each of his last two. He will lug a 6.03 ERA and 1.56 WHIP into Saturday's matchup with the Marlins.
Aaron Nola allowed five earned runs on six hits and four walks while striking out five over 4 1/3 unnings in Monday's loss to the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact
Nola is certainly glad he won't have to face the Cubs again anytime soon. The veteran righty has matched up with them in each of his last two starts, allowing eight earned runs on 14 hits and six walks across 9 1/3 innings. Nola will carry a 5.06 ERA and 1.46 WHIP into another tough task against the Braves this weekend.
