Aaron LOL-a: Mets 9, Phillies 6

Many people - including myself - believed that after a not-so-good 2021 season, Aaron Nola would return to his previous Cy Young vote earning form this year. After all, his peripheral numbers were still strong in 2021, and his problems (trouble with two outs and with runners on base) seemed like the type of thing that wouldn’t necessarily carry over to a new season. Unfortunately, in his first two starts of 2022, Nola has looked an awful lot like his 2021 self. And partly because of his poor start on Wednesday afternoon, the Phillies fell to the Mets 9-6.
