Rockies pitcher Juan Nicasio struggled through one of his toughest outings of the season Friday, in a 5-2 loss to the Indians.
Nicasio failed to make it through the fifth inning for just the second time in 11 starts, as the Indians chased him after 4 2/3 innings of work. He allowed five runs on nine hits in that time, while striking out two batters and walking none on 100 pitches.
Nicasio fell to 5-3 with the loss, while his ERA rose back up to 4.06. He will try to get back on track in his next outing set for Thursday against the Diamondbacks.
