Fantasy Impact
Nelson allowed only two hits in his outing, but both left the yard - a solo home run by Alex Freeland in the third and a three-run shot by Mookie Betts three batters later. It was just that four-batter stretch in the bottom of the third that did Nelson in - solo homer, walk, walk, three-run homer. Otherwise, Nelson allowed no hits and one walk while recording 14 outs. The righthander is tentatively scheduled to take the ball again on Thursday at home against Colorado.
