Though he seemed rather ordinary without his best asset, Aaron Nola remains one of the reasons the Philadelphia Phillies are optimistic about their young rotation.
Nola will try to recover from a lack of command Friday night when the visiting Phillies look to avoid their eighth straight loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.
Along with Jerad Eickhoff and Vince Velasquez, Nola is part of a staff that is the center of Philadelphia's rebuilding process.
Nola certainly showed promise in going 6-3 with a 3.53 ERA, 85 strikeouts and 19 walks over 91 2/3 innings in his first 15 career starts.
