Phillies starting rotation feeding off each others' success: 'You get better watching them'

During the 2023 playoffs, Bryce Harper dubbed Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola “Ace one and Ace two.” Through 20 games in 2024, the rest of the rotation are making a case for their own nicknames. Spencer Turnbull's Friday night outing against the White Sox, where he took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, was just the latest in a streak of stellar performances by Phillies starters. “When their rotations going well, they get on a roll and they want to sort of outdo each other, kind of a competition,” said manager Rob Thomson.
