Juan Nicasio struck out a career-high 10 Padres over seven innings Sunday as part of a no-decision in San Diego. Nicasio was strong, giving up just two runs -- one earned -- and five hits while walking two. It's a positive sign as he came into today with a 0-3 record and a 8.75 ERA in his five road starts. Owners in need of strikeouts can take a gamble on the rookie in plus matchups like this.
