Nicasio started the game out strong, limiting the Brewers to just one walk in his first three innings of work, before the wheels came off. Over his last 2 2/3 innings, he was tagged for three runs on three hits with a pair of walks, finishing with three strikeouts on 81 pitches in 5 2/3 innings of work.
Nicasio is locked into the rotation, but has given up three runs in his last 10 innings of work. He has a 3.71 ERA with 14 strikeouts and four walks in 17 innings of work.
