In 4 of Nicasio's last 6 starts, he has gone 7 innings or more, allowing 1 or fewer earned runs. Nicasio's LAST start in San Diego, he went 7 innings, allowing 2 runs (1ER), striking out 10 and walking 2.
2 of Zimmerman's last 3 starts involved 6ER crossing the plate; 3 of the past 5 have allowed 4+ earned runs. That said, in June, Zimmerman didn't go less than 6.1 in any start and only allowed more than 1 run in one of those starts (the worst was 6.1, 2ER). That's a 0.85 ERA. Were there a time this season to get after Zimmerman, now is it, even though his last start was 6 innings of shutout ball.
Also, starting right about now is Cleveland vs Texas. You might know the starting pitcher. Feel free to discuss that start while we wait for the Rockies game to start.
