CLEARWATER, Fla. - Three of the four Blue Jays who Aaron Nola walked in Friday's 7-5 loss scored. That upset the strike-happy Phillies righthander. But this is the Grapefruit League, and Nola missed the final two months of last season with an elbow injury, so the pitcher found comfort in the larger picture.
"I feel good," Nola said. "I feel like I'm almost where I need to be going into the season. A few more outings, and I think I'll be good to go for the season. Keep on staying healthy. That's my main focus right now."
That is everyone's focus in an elongated Phillies camp.
