Rockies starting pitcher Juan Nicasio struggled through his worst start of the season Tuesday against the Red Sox, as he could not get out of the third inning of an 11-4 loss.
Nicasio gave up multiple runs in each of the three innings he worked, including two in the first and three in the third. His night ended in the third after allowing four straight one-out hits to bring two more runs across.
Nicasio was charged with seven runs -- six earned -- over 2 1/3 innings of work, on 12 hits and two walks. He also struck out two batters, while his record fell to 4-4 on the season. Nicasio is winless in his last seven starts, while his ERA has risen from 4.47 to 5.31.
His next start is scheduled for Sunday against the Giants.
