Nicasio threw 1.1 scoreless innings Friday to record his third save of the season -- and first as a Cardinal -- in a 4-1 win over the Pirates.
In his first appearance with St. Louis, Nicasio got David Freese to hit a soft comebacker to end the eighth inning and then stuck around to finish the job. The Cards' closer situation appears to be headed for a committee, with Nicasio, Tyler Lyons and Seung Hwan Oh all potentially factoring into the mix as the club tries to work its way into the NL playoff picture.
