Nola (4-9) took the loss Sunday against the Royals, allowing six runs on six hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out five.
AnalysisNola was cruising early, as he held the Royals scoreless until
Jac Caglianone's two-run homer in the fifth inning. Things unraveled further in the sixth, however, when Nola gave up four runs on four straight hits, capped by a
Salvador Perez three-run blast. In six starts since returning from the IL, Nola has given up six runs in three separate outings. His ERA sits at 6.44 with a 1.43 WHIP and 84:26 K:BB across 15 starts (81 innings) this season. Nola will look to get back on track his next time out, tentatively scheduled to come next week at home against the Diamondbacks.
