Daily News | Aaron Nola struggles in first start in nine days as Phillies fall to Braves, 6-3
Despite their warts, the Phillies believe they can be a tough playoff team. It isn’t a delusional notion. They have two frontline starting pitchers, and well, anything can -- and often does -- happen in a short series., within reason, to improve the team’s odds of getting there.
“He’s got one of those fastballs that’s different,” said Alec Bohm, who actually singled twice against Strider. “It’s not like a normal fastball. People probably watch and think, ‘Oh, he’s just throwing fastballs. Just hit it.’ It’s not that simple. The thing just comes out different.” Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski noted this week that the team has gotten positive contributions from several young players, particularly Bohm, Bryson Stott, and Matt Vierling.

Nola allowed five extra-base hits, including Austin Riley’s RBI double in the first inning and Matt Olson’s two-run homer in the fifth.
