27 Aaron Nola SP

Nola improved to 12-2 on the season after pitching seven scoreless innings against the Mets on Monday night. He struck out 10 while allowing just one hit and one walk.

The start was probably Nola's best of the season and made him the National League wins leader. He helped himself out at the plate, too, driving in all three Philadelphia runs with a bases-clearing, two-out double in the fifth inning. Following the big hit, he came right back out and struck out the side, part of a stretch of 18 straight outs. Nola will next start Saturday or Sunday against the Marlins before heading off to the All-Star Game.

Nola pitched seven strong innings Wednesday against the Orioles, improving to 11-2 on the season after allowing just a single run on seven hits and a pair of walks while striking out nine batters.

Nola allowed at least one baserunner in every inning but never allowed more than two, limiting the damage to just a third-inning RBI double by Adam Jones. The end result was yet another solid outing for the Phillies' ace, who has tossed a quality start 14 of his last 16 times on the mound. He'll next take the hill Monday against the Mets.

Nola (10-2) allowed one earned run on five hits and two walks while striking out eight across 7.2 innings to earn the win Thursday against the Nationals.

Nola tuned in a workhorse effort and earned his 10th win Thursday, throwing 114 pitches while limiting the Nationals to just one extra-base hit. After allowing three baserunners in his first 1.1 innings of work, he sat down 11 consecutive Nationals spanning from the second inning to the fifth. With the win, Nola became the third pitcher in the National League -- joining Max Scherzer and Jon Lester -- to reach the 10-win mark. He also ranks among the league leaders in innings pitched, strikeouts, ERA and WHIP.

Nola (9-2) picked up the win in Saturday's 5-3 victory over the Nationals, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks over six innings while striking out five.

The right-hander settled down after Washington jumped on him for two runs in the bottom of the first inning, throwing 55 of 83 pitches for strikes en route to his 12th quality start of the season. Nola will carry a 2.58 ERA into his next outing Thursday, a rematch with the Nats back in Philadelphia.

Nola threw 4.1 innings Sunday allowing four runs on four walks and seven hits. He struck out four and allowed one home run in the 10-9 victory.

It wasn't the sharpest outing but at least Nola avoided a loss with his team's strong offensive performance. Even with the rough day, the 25-year-old has a strong 2.55 ERA and a 94:26 K:BB in 95.1 innings. He'll have a tough matchup next weekend in Washington.
