Nicasio improved to 5-4 with a win over the Mets on Tuesday, striking out seven and walking two over five innings of one-run ball.

EDGE Analysis

Nicasio put forth one of his best starts in recent memory despite being pulled after just 89 pitches, as nearly two thirds of those went for strikes, helping him reach seven punchouts for the second time this season. The 29-year-old has been up and down this season, but he has clearly been a better pitcher at home, where he has a 5-1 record to go along with a solid 3.24 ERA in six starts. His next start will come Tuesday at Citi Field versus the same Mets squad.
