Nelson allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three batters over seven innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Thursday.
The right-hander began his outing with four hitless innings before Kyle Tucker singled off him to begin the fifth. Nelson departed after seven innings down 2-0, but a late Diamondbacks rally took him off the hook. He threw 94 pitches (62 strikes) while recording his fifth quality start in his past six appearances. He's had a couple blowups this season, but since the beginning of May, Nelson has pitched to a solid 2.89 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over 46.2 frames spanning seven starts.
