Six times, he has taken down over 180 innings in a season. But lately, that durability has started to show cracks. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1783\">The Phillies have made history turning the NL East into a race again: \u2018Just want to keep it going\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Last year, Nola was uncharacteristically hampered by injuries. He\u2019s healthy now, but his bounceback season hasn\u2019t gone according to plan. And after Monday\u2019s 11-7 loss to the Pirates, where he allowed a season-high seven earned runs over just 4\u2153 innings, the path forward isn\u2019t clear. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t really had a stretch like this ever in my career,\u201d said Nola, whose season ERA has risen to 6.04. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Nola squandered a 5-0 lead the offense built against Pirates starter Braxton Ashcraft. Trea Turner and Brandon Marsh each hit solo homers in the first inning, while Bryce Harper hit a two-run shot in the third. All three homers came in two-strike counts. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>But Nola had issues with homers, too. He looked efficient early with an eight-pitch first inning, and was getting a lot of batters to swing and miss. But he started to falter by the fourth. Bryan Reynolds was inches away from clearing the top of the railing in left-center, settling for a leadoff double. He scored anyway when Esmerlyn Valdez teed up a curveball over the middle of the plate for a two-run shot. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cEarly in that game I thought he was going to roll,\u201d said interim manager Don Mattingly. \u201cThe way he was throwing the ball, it seemed sharp. Good breaking ball, down in the zone, a lot of swing-and-miss early in the game. And then just got sideways. So I\u2019m not quite sure what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>For the seventh time this year, Nola failed to get out of the fifth inning, which turned ugly quickly. Nola allowed four hits \u2014 including another homer and a double \u2014 and walked two in the frame. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Three runs had already scored when Seth Johnson finally relieved him with the bases loaded, and all three inherited runs would score, too. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt just sped up on him quite a bit there,\u201d said catcher J.T. Realmuto. \u201cThe stuff diminished quite a bit. \u2026 You could just tell he got a little tired, it was hot, just the stuff wasn\u2019t as good that inning.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<article><button><svg><\/svg><\/button><button><svg><\/svg><\/button><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Although Nola induced 23 whiffs from Pirates hitters, the second-most in a game in his career, he wasn\u2019t able to take many positives from his outing. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cA lot of runs tonight, I didn\u2019t really do well with the lead I got, what the guys gave me. They hit really well tonight,\u201d Nola said. \u201c&#8230; Swing and misses, honestly, tonight it doesn\u2019t really matter. Gave up too many hits, too many runs, got to be better at that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1781\">She disappeared from Kensington three years ago. A fake ID in her name led police to a disturbing Olney house.<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The two homers Nola allowed Monday upped his season total to 19, which is tied for fifth-most among pitchers this year. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>As Nola tries to find a way to turn his season around, he has started toying with a slider as a potential different look for hitters. It can be a challenge to add a new pitch mid-season and he hasn\u2019t thrown it much. He flashed it three times against the Pirates, generating one whiff. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cJust something different,\u201d Nola said. \u201cI throw so many curveballs, and I feel like we saw it tonight, if one pops, it usually gets barreled. So we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Nola\u2019s shorter outing caused the Phillies to turn to their bullpen earlier than hoped, as the unit had been taxed recently after some tight games against the Nationals and Mets. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>After entering the game, Johnson issued a leadoff walk to force in the go-ahead run, and then induced a grounder to Harper. He got the force out at second, but Turner flung the ball high over first base, allowing two more runs to score for the 8-5 Pirates lead. Turner\u2019s error is his 11th of the season, which has already surpassed his full-season total of eight in 2025. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The offense showed some life late, though. Marsh hit his second homer of the game in the eighth to start chipping away. He fell behind in the count, 1-2, to Gregory Soto, but put a good swing on a high and inside fastball. Bryson Stott and J.T. Realmuto hit back-to-back two-out singles to cut the lead to 8-7.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Derek Hill kept the line moving with a walk, but Justin Crawford was called out on strikes to end it, stranding two. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>In the ninth, Mattingly opted to use righty Chase Shugart, who had blown a save against the Mets on Sunday, with the intention of preserving his higher-leverage arms. It backfired when he gave up a three-run homer to Pittsburgh catcher Endy Rodr\u00edguez that put the Pirates back ahead by four runs. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI really didn\u2019t feel like I have much of a choice, honestly, there,\u201d Mattingly said. \u201cDidn\u2019t really feel like, where we\u2019re at with everything, we could just keep chasing a win in with our back-end guys and lose another one. Yeah, I felt like we had to get through that with Shug. He gets two outs quick, and then little kind of a halfway flare to center, and yeah, obviously the breaking ball he hits for the homer.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>In the bottom of the ninth, Turner struck out, Schwarber grounded out, and Marsh struck out to end it. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1779\">What the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling in the Cook case means for Federal Reserve independence<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Phillies got a pair of home runs from Brandon Marsh \u2014 plus homers from Trea Turner and Bryce Harper \u2014 but it wasn&#8217;t enough to overcome Aaron Nola&#8217;s poor start. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1784,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
