Nelson was tagged for four runs on four hits, walking three and striking out two over five-plus innings of a 6-3 loss to the Pirates on Friday night.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson (11-12, 3.95 ERA) has struggled over the past couple of weeks, allowing four or more runs in three of his last four starts while not pitching past the fifth inning in any of the three. He has now logged 175.1 innings in 2015, and could be wearing down somewhat as his command has been increasingly problematic.
