Twins starting pitcher Ricky Nolasco was hit hard again on Monday against the Blue Jays in Toronto, but escaped his outing with a no-decision. The right-hander permitted four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six over 5 2/3 innings of a 5-4 defeat.

Over his last two starts covering 12 2/3 innings, Nolasco has yielded eight earned runs. He owns a 5.70 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP through 13 starts (79 innings). He will make his next start Sunday at Detroit.
