Aaron Nola Honors Gehrig with Strong Start

Aaron Nola delivered a standout performance on Tuesday, his first start back after time away, made even more meaningful by landing on Lou Gehrig Day—a day honoring ALS awareness and fundraising. Nola, personally affected by the disease after losing his uncle, honored Gehrig with a special jersey decal and pitched five innings, striking out eight while walking none. Though he surrendered a two-run homer, his sharp curveball usage and consistency kept the Phillies victorious, 3-2. The team raised over $700,000 for ALS research, and Nola’s StrikeOutALS campaign added $12,000 to his season total with those eight strikeouts, bringing his donations close to $100,000.
