Nelson (4-3) struck out six while allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings in Wednesday's win over San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

The third inning was the only one where he had much of any trouble, as he surrendered an RBI double to Brandon Belt followed by a Buster Posey two-run homer. Otherwise, Nelson cruised, as he often has this season. Once the minor leagues' best pitcher, he's been a subpar major leaguer in prior seasons, but Nelson has improved his control and increased his strikeout rate this year -- and in fact, the .332 BABIP against him suggests that he might yet lower his current 3.45 ERA.
