Marlins rookie starter Justin Nicolino took a rough loss Sunday against the Nationals, allowing seven runs in 5 2/3 innings while only striking out three.
Nicolino looked like he overcame a three-run first inning going into the sixth, but he was promptly chased by allowing five hits to six batters, ending with a Tyler Moore home run. The 23-year-old's career high in strikeouts is still only four, so it's becoming pretty obvious how low his ceiling is. He'll try to bounce back next weekend against the Braves.
