Rockies starting pitcher Juan Nicasio dropped his first decision of the season Saturday, in a 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.
Nicasio opened the outing with two scoreless innings and had a 1-0 lead heading into the third inning. Unfortunately, the good times ended there, as he was tagged for three runs on three hits, including a home run, in the third. He was ultimately charged with five runs on eight hits and a pair of walks in 4 1/3 innings of work, while striking out four batters.
Nicasio is now 2-1 through five starts, with a 5.27 ERA in 27 1/3 innings of work. He will try to get back on track in his next outing, set for Thursday against the Mets.
