Ryne Nelson settles for no-decision despite strong outing

Ryne Nelson settled for a no-decision on Monday after pitching 5.1 innings and allowing two runs - one earned - on three hits, walking two, and striking out seven.
Fantasy Impact:
Nelson looked as if he would pick up his second win of the season as he exited with one on and one out in the sixth and Arizona leading, 7-1. However, the Diamondbacks' bullpen imploded and the Orioles rallied for a 9-7 victory. Nelson struck out a season-high seven batters - including striking out the side in the fifth - and lowered his ERA to 3.54 through four starts this season. The righthander has limited opponents to a .169 average and has a 19:8 K:BB ratio through 20.1 innings. The only downfall to his season thus far is that he has not gotten out of the sixth inning in any of his four starts. Nelson is currently lined up to pitch against the Blue Jays on Sunday.
