Dodgers starter Ricky Nolasco was solid but suffered his first loss with his new club Sunday against the Rockies.
Nolasco surrendered a run-scoring single to Michael Cuddyer in the first and a two-run home run to Cuddyer in the fifth. The right-hander allowed eight hits and three walks while striking out four over five innings of a 3-1 defeat.
Nolasco has allowed four runs over his first 12 innings since being acquired by the Dodgers. He is 6-9 with a 3.76 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 20 starts at the All-Star break.
