Nola (6-0) earned the win against the Cardinals on Wednesday by allowing one run on four hits over seven innings. He struck out eight and walked three.
The offense staked Nola to an early four-run lead and he never looked back, with his only blemish of the evening being a solo home run from Matt Wieters during the fourth inning. The 25-year-old will carry a 4.18 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 74:28 K:BB into Monday's start at San Diego.
