Rockies starter Juan Nicasio was fantastic Monday night at home against the Giants. Nicasio tossed six shutout innings for the win.

The starter improved to 8-6 on the year as he allowed just four hits over six shutout frames. He walked two batters and struck out nine over 95 pitches. His ERA is now at 4.57 with the win.

Nicasio has earned wins in his last two decisions and has given up just three earned runs over his last three outings spanning 17 2/3 innings. The Rockies will next hand the ball to Nicasio to start Sunday against the Reds.
