Aaron Nola pitched six shutout innings in his first win of the season, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-2.

The good news for Aaron Nola is that he's coming off his best start of the season. The bad news is that he still doesn't have a win in 2025. Nola -- again -- will look to break into the win column Saturday evening when the Philadelphia Phillies continue their three-game series with the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks.

Not coincidentally, Nola freezes opposing batters much better when the temperature goes up. But the breezy warmth at Citizens Bank Park on this night helped him in another way, too. The more he pitched, the more a literal pain in his neck subsided.
