Dodgers starting pitcher Ricky Nolasco was not at his best as he suffered his first postseason loss Tuesday night against the Cardinals in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series.
Nolasco, who made his first game appearance since Sept. 29, surrendered a run-scoring double to Matt Carpenter and a two-run home run to Matt Holliday -- all in the third inning -- for his only damage of the night. He allowed three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out four over four innings of a 4-2 defeat.
