EDGE Analysis

Nelson had all sorts of problems while losing his third consecutive start. The right-hander was unable to make it out of the fourth inning for the first time this season and matched his career high of eight runs allowed. His ERA ballooned to a season-high 3.92 and his WHIP increased to 1.35. In eleven tries over the first two months of the season, Nelson tallied eight quality starts. However, he's cooled off immensely and has failed to notch one quality outing in three June starts.
