Marlins starting pitcher Ricky Nolasco turned in a decent outing but suffered his sixth loss Thursday night against the Rays.

Nolasco (3-6) pitched five scoreless innings before allowing a two-run home run to Matt Joyce in the sixth and a solo shot to James Loney in the seventh. The right-hander surrendered three runs on four hits and four walks while striking out five in 6 2/3 innings of a 5-2 defeat.

Nolasco has allowed five runs combined in his last three starts (22 1/3 innings). He is scheduled to start Tuesday at Philadelphia. He is 0-1 with a 3.75 ERA in two starts against the Phillies this season.
