Nola (3-2) allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits while striking out nine and walking only one in a victory against the Reds on Saturday.
The only run he yielded was a sacrifice fly in the first inning. Nola was sharp, throwing 71 of his 100 pitches for strikes, inducing 15 swing-and-misses. It's the second time this season he's recorded nine strikeouts. Nola will look to keep it going in his next start Friday against the Braves.
