PHILADELPHIA — The temperature in South Philadelphia will be a high of 84 degrees on Saturday with a chance of thunderstorms in the forecast. Warm and maybe a little humid. That’s the way Aaron Nola likes it.
The Louisiana State product battled an 0-5 start and some velocity concerns in a cold April before making some serious progress on a chilly night in Chicago this past Sunday. It could be something for the right-hander to build upon in the month of May. Nola hopes there are brighter — and warmer — days ahead, beginning with his next outing against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Citizens Bank Park.
