Aaron Nola pitched, and the Phillies won. That combination is starting to become as commonplace as peanut butter and jelly, bacon and eggs, and surf and turf. The Phillies have won five of Nola’s last six starts, but his brilliance dates to June 22 of last season. Since that date, Nola is 14-7 with a 2.71 ERA and has allowed just 137 hits and struck out 184 in 169 2/3 innings. Nola was at his absolute best in Tuesday night’s 4-2 win over the San Francisco Giants as he allowed just five hits and struck out a career-high 12 over seven innings.
