Nolasco (5-13) allowed three runs on just two walks and two hits with five strikeouts over seven innings in Tuesday's loss to the Athletics.
Nolasco had thrown seven shutout innings, giving him a 16-inning scoreless streak after dominating the Reds with a complete game shutout Wednesday, before things unraveled in the eighth. Nolasco gave up a walk, a single and another walk to load the bases before he was lifted for Mike Morin, who promptly gave up a pair of hits to score all three runners and give the Athletics the lead. It wasn't a pitch count issue -- Nolasco threw just 91 pitches -- he just didn't have enough to keep fooling the Athletics a full four times through the order.
