Phillies Notebook: Aaron Nola not sharp, but grinds through short stint PHILADELPHIA — Four wins and one loss into a season Wednesday afternoon, Aaron Nola was given an unspoken mandate for that day's game: Domin...
APRIL 8, 2021 • DELCOTIMES.COM
Early exit in no-decision Nola didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Mets, allowing one run on six hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out five.
Impact The right-hander was mostly able to handle the traffic he put on the bases, but Nola ran his pitch count up to 92 (59 strikes) and was forced to exit before he could benefit from another big offensive showing by the Phillies. Nola has a 2.53 ERA and 11:2 K:BB through his first 10.2 innings this season, and he'll look for his first win of the season in a road rematch with the Mets on Tuesday.

Strong on Opening Day Nola allowed two earned runs on six hits and no walks while striking out six across 6.2 innings Thursday against the Braves. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Nola held a shutout through 6.2 innings, but allowed a walk and subsequent home run to Pablo Sandoval prior to being pulled. That cost him the opportunity to earn a win, though his effort was otherwise outstanding as he needed only 84 pitches to work deep into the game. On an Opening Day that saw many aces hit hard around the league, Nola appeared ready to replicate his outstanding 2020 campaign.

Earns expected Opening Day nod Nola will start on Opening Day against Atlanta on April 1, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Impact The announcement comes as no surprise, as Nola has been the Phillies' ace for several years now. He's coming off a year in which he posted his second-best ERA (3.28), second-best WHIP (1.08) and best strikeout rate (33.2 percent). The Opening Day start will be his fourth in a row, and he'll become the first Phillies pitcher to record a streak that long since Steve Carlton made 10 consecutive Opening Day starts from 1977 to 1986.
