Two Cy Young Award frontrunners will meet for the second time
in less than a week Tuesday night in Philadelphia.Aaron Nola will square off
against Max Scherzer as the Philadelphia Phillies host the Washington Nationals
in the second contest of a three-game set at Citizens Bank Park. Washington was
a 5-3 winner Monday night in the series opener Kole
Calhoun Jersey , which pushed Philadelphia (70-61) 3 1/2 games
behind the Atlanta Braves in the National League East. Article continues below
...Nola (15-3, 2.13 ERA) and Scherzer (16-6, 2.13) did not disappoint in their
meeting last week. But Nola got the best of the two-time defending NL Cy Young
winner, improving to 3-0 versus Washington this season.Nola threw eight
scoreless innings and had nine strikeouts in the Phillies’ 2-0 win. Nola allowed
five hits and one walk in the outing, which marked the 15th time in 26 starts
that he gave up one earned run or fewer.The start was accentuated by an
eighth-inning strikeout of Bryce Harper, the last batter Nola faced. His manager
made a case for Nola as the league’s top pitcher after the game.“It’s tough to
account for three pitches, and I think part of that is why Aaron Nola in my
opinion is the Cy Young this year,” Phillies manager Gabe Kapler told MLB.com
“Of course, Nola is our guy. I watch him every time out there and just the
dependability, the consistency, the creativity, the numbers. The numbers speak
for themselves.”Nola and Scherzer are tied for the second-best ERA in the NL.
New York Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom Garrett
Richards Jersey , the other pitcher in the Cy Young conversation,
has the only better ERA at 1.71. Nola is tied for second in the National League
in WHIP (0.97), third in innings pitched (169) and tied for fifth in strikeouts
(169). Scherzer leads the league in all three of those categories.Going for his
third straight NL Cy Young win and fourth trophy overall, Scherzer has posted
dominant numbers in 2018. He has 244 strikeouts, 181 2/3 innings pitched and a
0.89 WHIP through 27 starts.He had 10 strikeouts against the Phillies on
Thursday, marking the 14th time he has hit double digits this season. The only
damage against the 34-year-old in his last start was a two-run homer from Odubel
Herrera.“That was the one pitch that beat me,” Scherzer told MLB.com after the
loss.Scherzer’s best strikeout game of the year came May 6 against the Phillies
when he struck out 15 batters in 6 1/3 innings. Scherzer is 9-2 with a 2.51 ERA
and 0.96 WHIP in 16 career starts against Philadelphia.Nola, meanwhile, has a
3.57 career ERA against the Nationals, and he has limited them to three earned
runs in three starts (21 2/3 innings) this season. The 25-year-old also has a
perfect record at home this season. Nola is 9-0 with a 2.00 ERA and 10
strikeouts per nine innings at Citizens Bank Park.The Phillies, who are 41-23 at
home this season, have lost 12 of their last 18 games and are 3 1/2 games back
in the division for the first time since June 26.The Nationals (66-66) are 13-13
in August and eight games behind Atlanta. Andrew Heaney is the last man standing
from a starting rotation the Los Angeles Angels hoped to rely on throughout
2018.Heaney will make his team-high 28th start of the season on Saturday night
against the visiting Seattle Mariners in the third game of their four-game
series at Angel Stadium.He’ll try to get the first win of the series for Los
Angeles.Article continues below ...The Angels (73-75) fell 8-2 in the opener on
Thursday night Andrew
Heaney Jersey , preventing them from climbing over .500 for the
first time in four weeks. Seattle (81-46) then shut them out 5-0 on Friday
night.The Angels have scored two runs or fewer in five of their past six
games.While injuries have decimated the Angels’ starting pitching staff this
season, Heaney seems to be getting strongerHeaney (9-9, 3.98 ERA) struck out a
career-high 12 batters in his last outing, throwing seven scoreless innings in a
1-0 win against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.“I think as we continue to see
him get his stamina as this year’s progressed, he finished strong,” Angels
manager Mike Scioscia told MLB.com after that game. “He might have had some more
left in him.”Heaney’s only absence from the rotation was at the beginning of the
season, when he missed two starts while recovering from left elbow
inflammation.“He got a little setback at the end of spring training, but right
now he’s the lone survivor of what we had thought our rotation was going to be,”
Scioscia said. “He’s been very strong.”Heaney faced the Mariners twice in July
and once in June.In the June outing, the left-hander followed the first complete
game of his career with a 5-3 loss to the Mariners in which he retired only nine
batters and none of the five he faced in the fourth inning. Heaney gave up five
runs and seven hits, and that three-inn jhby
