Juan Nicasio really struggled on Friday against the Diamondbacks, giving up six runs on five hits and five walks over just 2 2/3 innings. Nicasio allowed two runs in the first and four in the third (including a two-run homer to Miguel Montero) before getting pulled. It was a surprising lack of control for Nicasio, who walked just 18 batters over 71 2/3 innings with the Rockies last year. We're expecting better results against the Padres next week.
