Daily News | ‘I don’t think anybody in that clubhouse is surprised’: Aaron Nola is becoming ‘Mr. October’ after years of September struggles
Tim Gajardo was feeling pretty good earlier this month when a TV reporter stuck a microphone in his face, hoping to gather a fan’s reaction following theAaron Nola, Gajardo said on live TV, is “basically perfect” in October since the pitcher had won his only career October start to that point. It sounded like a bit and promptly went viral.
Just as the Phillies faded the last four Septembers, so did Nola as he logged a 4.87 ERA in 23 September starts over the last four years. But the Phillies didn’t collapse this year. Neither did Mr. October. Nola was greeted Friday afternoon with an ovation as he made his way to warm up in the bullpen. The crowd roared when he was introduced by Dan Baker, and the cheers only grew louder when Nola escaped a first-inning jam. It had been 11 years since the ballpark hosted a playoff game and the fans were ready. So was Nola.Nola didn’t face trouble again until the first two batters reached in the sixth. He seemed to find his way out but Rhys Hoskins failed to complete an inning-ending double play.
“I don’t really hang my head on my Septembers,” Nola said. “I just try to go out and stay focused and not try to be anybody I’m not and try to make my pitches. I feel like I’ve had some bad starts then and some bad luck as well, but it’s a new month.
