Rockies starting pitcher Juan Nicasio was dealt his second loss of the season Sunday, as Cincinnati bested Colorado, 4-1. The right-hander allowed four runs (two earned) on five hits and one walk, while striking out three in six innings.
The Reds got one run in the first, third, fourth and fifth innings against Nicasio (4-2). He gave up a solo home run to Todd Frazier in the fourth inning.
Despite the loss, Nicasio hasn't allowed more than two earned runs in any of his three May starts. However, Sunday's loss halted his winning streak at two straight starts.
With off-days Monday and Thursday, Nicasio isn't expected back on the hill until Sunday (April 18) against the Padres.
