Rockies pitcher Juan Nicasio gave up just one earned run in five innings Tuesday while giving up two hits, striking out one and walking five in his team's 12-1 win over the Rangers.
Nicasio (4-1) surrendered a solo home run in the top of the first inning and then held the Rangers scoreless despite dishing out one walk in the third, two in the fourth and two more in the fifth. He owns a 3.89 ERA and 27:13 K:BB ratio in 39 1/3 innings. Nicasio gets the Reds in Cincinnati Sunday.
