Aaron Nola fires seven scoreless to defeat Mets

Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Player Stats

Aaron Nola continued his second half resurgence on Thursday, firing seven scoreless innings in a victory over the Mets.

The 33-year-old right-hander scattered three singles and three walks on the night while striking out four. The only real threat against him came as the Mets put two men on with one out in the sixth inning, but he was able to get Francisco Lindor to bounce into an inning-ending double play to quell that rally. Nola generated nine swings and misses on 81 offerings in the contest, posting a strong CSW of 32 percent. He’ll look to further improve upon his 4.49 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in his regular season finale against the Brewers on Wednesday.

Aaron Nola struggled in a losing effort against the Braves in Game 3 of the Wild Card Series on Thursday, giving up three runs on two hits and two walks in only 1 2/3 innings of work.

Nola struck out one batter in the abbreviated outing. All of the damage done against him came in the opening inning as Ronald Acuna Jr. and Matt Olson worked back-to-back walks with one out. Michael Harris II followed with a three-run blast that gave the Braves the early lead. Nola got just three whiffs on 38 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 21 percent. The 33-year-old hurler will now have to go through an entire offseason with the bad taste from this one in his mouth.
Zack Wheeler

PHI Starting Pitcher #45

The Phillies are meeting to determine their starter for Game 3 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Braves on Thursday.

Philadelphia mounted a surreal comeback with Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper homering in the eighth inning to essentially force extra-innings before Alec Bohm’s go-ahead homer kept their season alive. Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola are the most logical candidates, but they could decide to give the ball to lefty Jesús Luzardo as an opener after he went five innings during Game 1 earlier this week. It’ll be an all-hands-on-deck situation regardless of who takes the ball to kick off the winner-take-all affair.
Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Aaron Nola gave up three runs over an inning while picking up a loss in a win for the Rays on Saturday over the Phillies.

Nola was tasked with starting essentially a must-win game for the Phillies on two-days rest, and it went poorly. He gave up a two-run homer to Junior Caminero, and an RBI double to Victor Mesa before giving way to the bullpen. Nola’s regular season was another down year for what was once one of the better starters in the National League, and he finishes with a 4.67 ERA in his 175 1/3 innings. Assuming there’s no buyout or trade, he’ll pitch at the back of the Philadelphia rotation in 2027.

Aaron Nola will start Saturday’s contest against the Rays.

It’s basically no-or-never for the Phillies as they sit one game ahead of the Diamondbacks for the final NL Wild Card playoff spot with two games remaining. Nola gets the ball on two days of rest after allowing four runs over six innings in a loss to the Brewers on Wednesday evening. The 33-year-old was unlikely to pitch in a potential Wild Card Series matchup, so they’re going to have him take the ball in this spot instead. It’s a massive spot as Philadelphia attempts to snap a three-game losing streak and clinch a playoff spot.
Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Aaron Nola surrendered four runs in six innings Wednesday in a loss to the Brewers.

Nola struck out eight, but he gave up solo homers in the first and second and then two runs on a walk, a single and a double in the third. He retired 10 straight from there to end his outing. Nola closes out the regular season 7-11 with a 4.54 ERA, though that doesn’t demonstrate how solid he’s been lately. He had a 2.10 ERA in his previous 10 starts coming into tonight. This was the first time he’s allowed four runs since July 22.

Aaron Nola held the Braves to two runs and three hits in 6 1/3 innings Friday.

Nola gave up a homer to Matt Olson in the first and another to Austin Riley in the second, but the Braves did nothing else against him, even though he finished the night with just two strikeouts and three walks. It’s the sixth straight start in which Nola has allowed two runs or fewer, and though he wasn’t involved in the decision tonight, he’s improved from 3-9 with a 5.61 ERA to 7-9 with a 4.69 ERA. He’ll get the Mets next week.
Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Aaron Nola delivered an outstanding outing during a tough-luck no-decision on Sunday, allowing just one run on four hits across seven innings.

Nola punched out five batters in the contest while allowing only one base on balls. The lone tally against him came on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Ronald Acuña Jr. in the sixth inning. Nola exited with a 4-1 lead and in line for a victory, but the Phillies’ bullpen couldn’t hang on for him. The 33-year-old hurler got 11 whiffs on 93 pitches on the day, posting a CSW of 22 percent. He’ll look to continue his resurgence and further improve upon his 4.76 ERA and 1.37 WHIP when he takes on these same Braves in Atlanta on Friday.

Aaron Nola pitched five innings of one-run ball in the Phillies’ 2-1 win over the D-backs on Monday.

The scoring was finished in the third inning in this one, allowing Nola to get the victory in a game in which he recorded just 15 outs, He’s yielded exactly one run in four of his last seven starts and a total of 11 runs during the span, which has lowered his ERA from 5.82 to 4.93. He’s a pretty reasonable mixed-league option right now, though a matchup against the Braves on Sunday isn’t quite ideal.

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Aaron Nola allowed two runs while striking out seven batters over six innings in a loss against the Mariners on Tuesday.

Nola tossed a scoreless first inning, then gave up a leadoff homer to Cal Raleigh in the second. He cruised through another three quiet innings before the Mariners added a run on two hits in the sixth. Nola would complete the frame and end his day at 92 pitches, striking out seven in a quality start. The 33-year-old right-hander will take a 5.03 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and a 153/49 K/BB ratio across 143 innings into a start against the Diamondbacks in Arizona next Monday.
Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Aaron Nola picked up the win on Wednesday evening against the Marlins, throwing seven innings of one-run ball while striking out eight.

Nola allowed five hits without walking anyone in his 100-pitch outing. The veteran right-hander has pitched far better lately after posting a 6.04 ERA through the end of June. Since then, he has given up more than three earned runs just once. Given that he’s 33 and signed through 2030, the turnaround has been a much-needed development for reasons beyond this season. Nola will look to continue his second-half rebound next time out against the Mariners in Seattle.

Keyber Rodriguez homered twice and walked Friday for Aragua of the Venezuelan Winter League.

The 25-year-old Rodriguez is just 6-for-30 so far, but he’s tied for the league lead with four homers. Rodriguez has been in the Rangers system since 2018, and he hit .268/.325/.459 with 19 homers between Double- and Triple-A this season. Barring a surprising decision to add him to the 40-man, he’ll be eligible for minor league free agency after the World Series.

Hancel Rincón picked up a win after pitching a hitless inning in relief for Estrellas of the Dominican Winter League on Friday.

Estrellas is well stocked with Cardinals this winter; Rincón got to throw to Leo Bernal in his appearance last night, the lead he was handed was in part supplied by a two-run triple from Cesar Prieto. Rincón has allowed two runs in 4 2/3 innings to date.

Aron Estrada went 5-for-5 with two doubles and a steal for Zulia of the Venezuelan Winter League on Friday.

The 21-year-old Estrada slugged 25 homers while amassing a .281/.325/.482 in a 2026 season spent mostly in Double-A. His defense at second base still needs some work, and he’d be a less interesting prospect if he’s forced to an outfield corner, but as a switch-hitter with impressive pop, he’s a threat to see some major league time next year.

Carlos Colmenarez had a grand slam and walked twice for Lara of the Venezuelan Winter League on Friday.

Colmenarez, 22, had a rather odd season that saw him open up in Triple-A because of some injuries in the Rays system and finish it in High-A. He also missed time in May and August, so he was limited to 66 games in which he hit .249/.359/.442. That he’s a left-handed hitter helps his cause, but he has quite a bit of work to do if he’s going to land a utility gig someday.

Christian Yelich went 1-for-4 with an RBI triple and a run scored on Friday night, leading the Brewers to a 3-2 victory over the Rays in Game 1 of the World Series.

Yelich got the Brewers on the board first with a run-scoring triple off of Nick Martinez in the home half of the first inning. He then scored on an RBI single by William Contreras. That was his lone hit in the ballgame but played a major role in the Brewers’ taking a 1-0 lead in the Series. Expect the 34-year-old slugger to be back near the top of the lineup for Saturday night’s showdown against Rays’ right-hander Drew Rasmussen.

Trevor Megill walked the tightrope against the Rays in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night, escaping with a one-run advantage as the Brewers took a 1-0 Series lead.

It wasn’t the smoothest of innings for Megill by any means, as he allowed one-out singles to Jonathan Aranda and Chandler Simpson and walked Junior Caminero to load the bases. He then got Liam Hicks to ground into what looked to be a game-ending double play, but Caminero was ruled safe at second base upon umpire review. Not to fear though, as he battled back to retire Jonny DeLuca on strikes to end the ballgame. Megill needed 20 pitches to get the job done though, which could impact his availability in Game 2 on Saturday.
