Juan Nicasio was excellent in his first regular-season start since breaking his neck last August, holding the Astros to one run on five hits in seven innings of Colorado's 3-2 loss. Nicasio struck out four and walked one, and consistently reached the mid-90s with his fastball while throwing just 82 pitches. It was inspiring sight only eight months after his terrifying injury, and a promising outing coming off a dominant spring. He appears poised to be an asset in all formats.
