Aaron Nola is making history as the Phillies Opening Day starter once again

Is Aaron Nola the most fun pitcher in baseball to watch? When he’s on, the answer is yes.

Last night against a New York Yankees lineup that featured DJ LeMahieu, Aaron Judge, Aaron Hicks, Giancarlo Stanton, Gleyber Torres, Gio Urshela, and Gary Sanchez, the Phils’ ace twirled six innings of brilliant shutout baseball in which he allowed just one hit and no walks with nine strikeouts in the Phils’ 4-0 win.

It was an awe-inducing display of filth and destruction against what may be the best lineup in baseball.
