Nolasco allowed one run on three hits while striking out five over seven innings, but received no decision Sunday against the Royals.
The only damage Nolasco allowed was a solo homer to Mike Moustakas, but the bullpen fell apart in the ninth inning and blew a two-run lead to leave him without the well-earned victory. Although he had to earn the fifth starter spot late in spring training, he certainly pitched a gem in his first outing of the season, and he'll look to continue the momentum in his next start Friday against the Angels.
