Rockies starting pitcher Juan Nicasio was effectively wild in picking up his fifth win of the season Saturday against the Braves.
Nicasio walked four batters but still made it through six shutout innings, as he limited the Braves to just two hits. He struck out five batters while throwing a season-high 103 pitches in the 3-1 win.
Nicasio is now 5-2 with a 3.61 ERA on the season, and has made it through six innings in each of his last three starts. He will go for win No. 6 in his next start, set for Friday in Cleveland.
