EDGE Analysis

It wasn't his best or most efficient outing, but Nicasio didn't need to do much to beat Aaron Blair, who was knocked around for nine runs in 1.1 innings. Nicasio has now gone three straight turns without a quality start, but he's striking out a batter per inning, and his hard-hit rate was the lowest among qualified starters entering Tuesday's game at just over 17 percent.
