Nolasco (4-12) gave up four earned runs on nine hits and three walks over 6.1 innings in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Tigers. He struck out two.
The veteran righty actually turned in a solid effort overall, but he didn't get much help from his offense on a night where opposing starter Justin Verlander was in vintage form. Nolasco breezed through the first five innings before giving up an RBI double to J.D. Martinez and a two-run shot to Justin Upton in the sixth. Cameron Maybin then touched him up for a 347-foot solo blast in the seventh, ending Nolasco's night. The 33-year-old has now dropped four straight decisions and has yet to notch a victory in an Angels uniform, despite pitching at least six innings in four of his five starts. He'll try to get into the win column when he takes on the Reds next Wednesday.
