Diamondbacks' Ryne Nelson: Sharp again in no-decision

Nelson did not factor into the decision in Friday's loss to the Rays, allowing one run on five hits and no walks over 6.1 innings. He struck out six.

The Arizona hurler secured his fourth quality start in six outings since the All-Star break with this 94-pitch performance. The lone blemish on Nelson's evening was a 379-foot solo shot by Dylan Carlson in the fifth inning. The 26-year-old right-hander has been brilliant in the second half, pitching to a 2.89 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 42:9 K:BB across 37.1 innings. Nelson doesn't currently have another start scheduled as manager Torey Lovullo has proposed moving the righty to the bullpen. However, given Nelson's stellar work of late, Lovullo might reconsider removing him from the rotation.
