The Phillies starting rotation entered Monday with a 3.40 ERA and a 10.20 strikeout average per nine innings. Both of those marks are better through 25 games than the famed Four Aces staff of 2011, which had a 3.52 ERA and 8.79 strikeouts per nine innings. . . . Mackanin said Cody Asche is still far away from returning to the Phillies. He is in Clearwater rehabbing from a rib cage muscle injury he suffered during spring training. He has been able to take practice swings. . . . Aaron Nola (1-2, 3.55 ERA) will face Cardinals righthander Michael Wacha (2-1, 3.07) on Tuesday.
