Twins pitcher Ricky Nolasco didn't factor into the decision Wednesday, giving up three earned runs on six hits and one walk in six innings while striking out nine in his team's 4-3 loss to the Indians.
Nolasco ran into trouble in the third inning, when two singles and a walk were followed by a bases-loaded double that brought home a pair of runs. He then surrendered a solo home run in the fifth but did well otherwise, particularly in racking up punchouts. Nolasco owns a 5.64 ERA and 28:11 K:BB ratio in 44 2/3 innings. He's scheduled to face the Red Sox at home Tuesday.
