MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) – Aaron Nola gave his seven-inning complete game victory an asterisk.
The right-hander struck out 10 and went the distance for the first time in his career as the Philadelphia Phillies handed the Miami Marlins their worst drubbing in two days, winning a doubleheader opener 11-0 Friday.
Officially, the performance went in the books as a complete game.
“I don’t feel like it counts,” Nola said. “Nine innings is a complete game. But I felt good today. I’m glad I finished it out.”
While Nola cruised, it was another rough outing for Marlins pitchers, who gave up a National League record 29 runs against Atlanta on Wednesday.
