On Tuesday, the Philadelphia Phillies’ ace Aaron Nola put on a show against the Detroit Tigers, throwing a no-hit bid through six innings. Nola was dominant throughout the game, striking out eight batters and allowing just one walk. He was able to keep the Tigers off balance with his mix of fastballs and off-speed pitches.
Nola’s no-hit bid was broken up in the seventh inning when Tigers’ outfielder JaCoby Jones hit a single to left field. Despite the hit, Nola was able to finish the game with a quality start, allowing just one run on two hits and one walk while striking out nine batters.
Nola’s performance was impressive and it was a reminder of why he is one of the best pitchers in baseball. He has been an ace for the Phillies since he was called up in 2015 and has been a consistent force in the rotation since then. This season, he has been even better, posting a 2.28 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in 14 starts.
Nola’s no-hit bid against the Tigers is just another example of his dominance this season. He has been one of the best pitchers in baseball and is a major reason why the Phillies are in contention for a playoff spot. If he can continue to pitch at this level, the Phillies will have a great chance of making the postseason.
