Overview
- Aaron Nola remains winless through four starts this season, posting a 6.65 ERA after the Phillies' 11-4 loss to the Giants on April 16.
- Nola walked four batters for the second consecutive game, including one with the bases loaded, highlighting ongoing command issues in cold weather conditions.
- Philadelphia's offense has provided little support during Nola's starts, scoring only two runs across his first three outings before a slight improvement in his latest game.
- Manager Rob Thomson expressed confidence that Nola's fastball will regain its effectiveness as temperatures rise, attributing struggles to early-season conditions.
- The Phillies have lost all four games started by Nola this season, contributing to a broader team slump after a strong start to the year.
