Phillies first half team awards: Aaron Nola is runaway MVP

by Evan Macy

MVP: Aaron Nola, SP12-3, 2.30 ERAEven after his most recent outing — a 2-0 loss to the Marlins that saw him allow two runs in the first before retiring 18 straight batters — Nola is one of the top three NL candidates for the Cy Young award. Considering the Phillies' slim margin for first place in the NL East, without their true ace firing on all cylinders Philly would not be atop the standings. He's fourth in the NL in strikeouts and third in ERA though the season's first half. LVP: Scott Kingery, SS.236, 4 HR, 26 RBI XXRookie of the (first half): Seranthony Domingez1-2, 1.60 ERA, 9 savesXSilver Slugger: Rhys Hoskins.255, 14 HR, 56 RBIGold Glove: Carlos Santana.992 fielding percentage
