Juan Nicasio allowed four runs on six hits over 4 1/3 innings in a loss to the Pirates on Sunday.
He struck out four and walked three. Nicasio posted a spectacular 0.47 ERA in his first three starts after being recalled from Triple-A on July 12, but he has come back to earth by surrendering 12 runs over 8 1/3 frames in two starts since. Nicasio matched up against the Dodgers, Cubs and Marlins in those first three starts, while he's faced much stiffer competition -- on the road against Atlanta and Pittsburgh -- during his struggles. The right-hander falls to 6-6 with a 5.05 ERA. Nicasio is not to be trusted in fantasy.
