Brewers' Jimmy Nelson: Suffers eighth loss of 2016 on Friday

Nelson (6-8) allowed four runs, two of which were earned, on four hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings to take the loss Friday against the Cubs.

Analysis:

Nelson gave up all four of his runs in the first two innings before settling down until his exit in the fifth inning. He's now held opponents to two or fewer earned runs in five of his last six starts to lower his ERA to 3.40 on the year. He'll make his next start Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.
