Nola (6-6) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out nine across eight innings to take the loss Saturday against the Padres.

Nola had a shutout going until giving up a pair of runs in the seventh inning, but the offense was only able to provide a single run of support, leading to his sixth loss of the season. He's allowed just five runs over his last four starts to lower his ERA from 4.76 to 3.59.
