Nelson (1-1) allowed two runs on three hits and four walks while striking out nine over six innings, and earned the win Sunday against the Astros.
Despite giving up a pair of solo homers, Nelson otherwise held the Astros in check, and the offense gave him just enough run support to earn him the victory. Although his record sits at 1-1, Nelson has only allowed two runs in each of his first two starts of the season. He'll make his next start Friday at the Pirates.
