# Nola Dominates Again as Phillies Take Series from Nationals
WASHINGTON – Just days ago, [Aaron Nola](https://www.phiphilliesgear.com/jerseys/philadelphia-phillies-aaron-nola-jersey) was searching for consistency. Now, he's found his Cy Young form.
The Phillies' ace tossed seven innings of one-run ball Wednesday, striking out nine and walking none in a 4-2 victory over the Nationals. It marked Nola's third consecutive quality start.
"My curveball finally feels right," Nola said postgame.
The win gave Philadelphia its first series victory in two weeks. Nola lowered his season ERA to 3.18 and has now recorded 55 strikeouts against just eight walks.
Why is this crucial? With the rotation dealing with injuries, Nola's steady presence provides exactly what a scuffling team needs: reliability. He's proving why the Phillies invested $172 million to keep him.
