Nelson (5-7) gave up three runs (two earned) on seven hits and two walks over six innings in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Dodgers. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old right-hander pitched well for the third straight start, but came away with the loss after failing to receive any run support. He didn't give up a homer for the third consecutive appearance, and despite only surrendering three earned runs over his last 16 frames, he's picked up two no-decisions and Saturday's loss over that span. Nelson will once again try for his sixth victory against the Cardinals next Friday.
