Rockies starting pitcher Juan Nicasio turned in a solid outing but failed to factor in the decision Tuesday night against the Reds. Nicasio surrendered three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three in six innings.

Nicasio has not pitched more than six innings this season. He has a 4.76 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP through 12 starts. He is scheduled to make his next Sunday at home against the Padres. He is 2-1 with a 4.62 ERA in five starts at Coors Field.
