After turning in the best numbers of his career in the 2018 season, Phillies ace Aaron Nola has been named as an N.L. Cy Young award finalist.
The Baseball Writers Association of America announced Monday that Nola was one of the three top vote-getters for the award for the league's best pitcher. He's joined by the aces of two division rivals — the Mets' Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer of the Nationals.
Nola was the Phillies' only finalist for any of the end-of-the-year awards. The Indians' Corey Kluber, Blake Snell of the Rays and the Astros' Justin Verlander are the American League Cy Young finalists.
