Miami's Justin Nicolino notches quality start against Pirates
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Justin Nicolino danced around trouble in a quality start Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Nicolino, a rookie, allowed two runs over six innings, but he played with fire. He allowed 10 players to reach base -- six hits and four walks -- while only striking out one, not a recipe for consistent success.
Nicolino owns a 4.50 FIP over 37 innings. It's a small sample size, but he's striking out a meager 2.92 hitters per nine innings. We have him slated for a 4.90 ERA the rest of the way.
