Aaron Nola, the Philadelphia Phillies’ right-hander, is struggling with his performance this season, suffering the worst start of his career in a 14-7 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. He allowed a career-high 12 hits and nine earned runs, along with three home runs, prompting him to admit, “Terrible” when reflecting on the game. Despite his early-season difficulties, including five losses and a total of 20 earned runs in his first five starts, both Nola and manager Ron Thomson remain optimistic about his ability to improve and regain his form.
