Aaron Nola News: Spins gem Friday

Nola (5-10) earned the win against the Twins on Friday, allowing one run on two hits with nine strikeouts over eight innings. He did not issue a walk.

Nola looked like his old self Friday, throwing 56 of 90 pitches for strikes and retiring the first 17 batters he faced before giving up a solo homer in the sixth. Per Todd Zolecki of MLB.com, the 32-year-old passed Robin Roberts for second place on the Phillies' all-time strikeout list. Despite the strong finish, this has been a career-worst regular season for Nola, who ends with a 6.01 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 97:28 K:BB across 94.1 innings.
