Nola (9-9) allowed seven runs on nine hits and two walks across 6.1 innings while taking the loss in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Marlins. He struck out seven.
Nola allowed three runs through the first six innings, but he unraveled in the seventh and was removed after a three-run home run from Ichiro Suzuki and a solo shot by Giancarlo Stanton. He pounded the strike zone at a 69 percent clip and induced nine groundball outs, but he simply faded as his pitch count elevated. Nola allowed two earned runs or fewer in 10 straight starts into early August, but he has been tagged for 12 earned runs over 11.1 innings in his last two starts. He will look to get back on track Saturday against the Cubs.
