Nola’s Milestone Marred by Injury | MLB News

Aaron Nola’s dominant outing took a brutal turn when he was crushed by a 104.8 MPH line drive off Jesús Sánchez, forcing him to exit in the sixth inning — but thankfully, X-rays were negative, ruling out serious damage. Despite the pain, he even threw practice pitches before finally conceding he couldn’t continue. Still, earlier in the game, he hit a major milestone: his 2,000th career strikeout, making him the 94th pitcher in MLB history to reach that mark. He finished with 8 strikeouts and 2 walks, giving up 2 runs on 6 hits — but the injury overshadows the achievement as fans wait to see how quickly he can return.
