Aaron Nola Earns Ninth Win With Quality Start Monday
5 months agoPhiladelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola improved to 9-3 in Monday's 8-1 win over the Tigers. Nola pitched seven innings, allowing one run on six hits and no walks with six strikeouts. He also hit a batter. The 31-year-old is having a nice bounce-back season with a 3.39 ERA, an 8.02 K/9 rate, and a 2.23 BB/9 rate in 16 starts and 101 IP. His strikeout rate is the lowest since his rookie season, but 11 of his 16 starts have been quality starts. Nola has puzzled fantasy managers with alternating good and disappointing seasons over the last several seasons, so they will gladly take his current overall success. His next matchup will be another great one against the Marlins.
