.With 5 2/3 innings under his belt Tuesday night, Philadelphia Phillies ace Aaron Nola was removed from the game, with manager Gabe Kapler calling for Pat Neshek. Neshek would retire the final batter of the inning, earning a victory as a result. It was a disappointing finish for Nola, who allowed two runs on six hits and two walks, striking out nine along the way. The performance, while not, a bad one, continues a worrying trend for the young ace as the season winds down. In three starts this month, Nola has a 5.60 ERA, easily his worst of any month this year.

.While Philadelphia Phillies ace Aaron Nola continues to be one of the leading candidates to win the NL Cy Young Award this season, he, alongside the rest of his teammates, is slumping this month. The 25-year-old, seeking to avoid a three-game sweep to the Washington Nationals, lasted just five innings, surrendering four runs on six hits and a walk. One alarming trend for Nola this month has become home runs allowed, as he gave up two more on Wednesday, now having given up seven in three September starts. That's as much as he'd allowed through the first five months of the season.

Nola (16-4) picked up the win Friday, giving up three runs on three hits and a walk over seven innings while striking out eight in a 4-3 victory over the Mets.

Manager Gabe Kapler elected to move Nola up in the rotation as his next start will now come against the Cubs on Sunday, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

On the mound was team ace Aaron Nola and he would perform exactly as the club could've hoped for.

Nola's record remains at an incredible 12-3, while his ERA has fallen to 2.35.

Philadelphia Phillies manager Gabe Kapler named starting pitcher Aaron Nola as the team's Opening Day starter. Nola was the unquestioned ace of the staff in 2017, going 12-11 with a 3.53 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 184 strikeouts in just 168 innings. His elbow proved healthy all year and his velocity spiked. If he can stay healthy in 2018, he'll be a low-end fantasy ace with plenty of strikeout upside, just don't count on a ton of wins on a rebuilding Philly club. Nola is only 25 this year, too, meaning he's an excellent dynasty/keeper commodity.

Manager Gabe Kapler announced that Nola will be the Opening Day starting pitcher for the Phillies, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
