Nola (12-6) earned the win against the Astros on Tuesday, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out six over seven scoreless innings.

Nola worked around some early traffic but grew stronger as the game progressed, retiring the final nine batters he faced to earn his first win since July 11. The 31-year-old generated 14 swinging strikes on 102 pitches and has now yielded just two earned runs across 19 innings in his past three outings. On the season, he owns a 3.30 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 153:42 K:BB across 166.1 innings and currently lines up to face Atlanta on Sunday night.
