Rockies starter Juan Nicasio turned in a solid outing but did not factor in the decision Sunday afternoon against the Padres.
Nicasio pitched five scoreless innings and took a no-hitter into the sixth before surrendering two runs, including a solo home run by Nick Hundley. The right-hander permitted two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out seven in six innings of an 8-7 victory.
Nicasio has allowed five runs combined in his last two starts (12 innings). He is scheduled to make his next start Friday at home against Philadelphia.
