It was not a night to remember for Brewers starter Jimmy Nelson. Despite allowing just three runs, he gave up a career-high 11 hits in a loss to the Royals on Thursday.
It's the second straight start Nelson has allowed double-digit hits, after getting racked for 10 hits by the Nationals last Saturday. In his five innings of work Thursday, Nelson lasted just five innings and did not record a strikeout.
Nelson has now lost four of his last five decisions to fall to 3-8 on the campaign and his ERA rose to 4.64.
