Final Thoughts
Another strong showing for Aaron Nola, who seems to finally be putting things together in the major leagues.
The team has won each of Nola’s last two starts, and the young right hander has been able to go deep into the games. Its encouraging to see him develop and become a stopper in this rotation.
