Twins starting pitcher Ricky Nolasco allowed one run on three hits and one walk in five innings during Tuesday's spring start against the Blue Jays. He struck out six.
Nolasco allowed his only run on a solo homer to Josh Donaldson in the fifth inning.
"Curveball was going pretty good," Nolasco said of his outing, per MLB.com. "Trying to attack, throw strikes. It's definitely not a lineup you want to pitch behind to, so I was able to get ahead and put away some guys. Got a little sloppy there in the fifth with two outs, but I was able to get out of that, so it was OK."
Nolasco has allowed just one run in three of his four spring starts. He has a 3.95 ERA.
