Phillies 'old school' aces continue to deliver, will anchor postseason run

Sep 30, 2024

Right-hander Aaron Nola exited after a sixth-inning leadoff triple in Sunday’s regular-season finale, just two outs short of a notable milestone for starting pitchers. Zack Wheeler, Philadelphia’s ace, tossed 6 ⅓ innings on Saturday to reach 200 total innings pitched for the regular season in his final start on Saturday. The Phillies gave Nola a chance to match it.
