Nelson (6-13) gave up six runs on six hits and two walks over five innings in Wednesday's loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Remember the good old days -- like, say, last month -- when Nelson's numbers still looked solid? Well, he's been doing a good job of putting the lie to his early-season success lately, as Nelson has been tagged for six runs in three of his last four starts and hasn't finished six innings in more than a month. His ERA's up to 4.31, his WHIP's up to an atrocious 1.49, and he's taken the loss in six consecutive starts. The worst part is that his peripherals (like a FIP over 5.00) suggest things could get even worse.
