Aaron Nola didn't have a promising start to his third game since returning from the injured list when he took the mound on Thursday for the series opener against the Atlanta Braves. The Philadelphia Phillies' veteran right-hander struggled through a three-run, 37-pitch inning.
But Nola turned things around and made some history in the Phillies' 19-4 win, passing Cole Hamels for third on the franchise's all-time strikeout list. Although his accomplishment was understandably overshadowed by Kyle Schwarber's massive night.
After the offense handed Nola a 5-3 lead heading into the second inning, he shut down the Braves over the next five innings.
