Rockies starter Juan Nicasio turned in a decent performance as he earned his third win of the season Friday night against the Diamondbacks.

Nicasio, who made his fifth start of the season, surrendered two runs in the second inning, including a solo home run to Eric Chavez. The right-hander was charged with three runs -- one earned -- and four hits in five innings of work in a 6-3 victory. He struck out two and walked one in 82 pitches, 50 strikes.

Nicasio has allowed four homers in his last three outings, but has lowered his ERA from 5.63 to 4.62 over that span. The 26-year-old is scheduled to start Wednesday at Los Angeles Dodgers. He is 0-1 with a 4.26 ERA in his last two starts at Dodger Stadium.
