PHILADELPHIA — Mastering a new pitch has turned Aaron Nola into an ace.
Nola tied a career high with nine strikeouts in seven sharp innings, Freddy Galvis hit a two-run homer and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the reeling Milwaukee Brewers 6-1 on Friday night.
Nola (7-6) allowed one run and five hits. He has six straight quality starts, going 4-1 and lowering his ERA from 4.76 to 3.38 in that span.
A first-round draft pick in 2014, Nola made his major league debut exactly two years ago. He added a change-up to his repertoire this season and he’s been dominant at times because of it.
