From Rotoworld: Nola struggled in Friday’s loss to the Reds, surrendering five runs on six hits over his six frames. The right-hander walked two and struck out five on the night. Nola struggled to keep the ball in the yard in this one, with Adam Duvall and Scott Schebler each clubbing solo homers against him. Now 2-2 on the season, Nola will carry a 4.34 ERA and 1.38 WHIP into Wednesday’s start.

Straily yielded three runs over 5 1/3 innings in an 8-5 win over the Angels on Friday. Straily was pulled after giving up a two-run homer to Martin Maldonado in the sixth inning. He struck out six and walked a pair for his second straight victory and now sits at 3-3 with a 3.83 ERA and 54/24 K/BB ratio in 54 innings across 10 starts
