Juan Nicasio holds down Royals
Juan Nicasio - S - Colorado Rockies
March 19, 2013 - 6:45 PM ET

Juan Nicasio held the Royals to one run over five frames Tuesday.

He gave up three hits, walked three and struck out four, with the lone tally coming in the form of a Mike Moustakas homer. Nicasio has an unappealing 5.28 ERA this spring, but he's tallied 13 strikeouts over 15 1/3 innings. He can't really be trusted at Coors Field, but he could be good enough to spot start on the road at times this season.
