Juan Nicasio’s amazing comeback story saw him return to the win column last night in the Colorado Rockies’ 8-4 victory over the San Diego Padres last night. Nicasio pitched into the seventh inning in earning his first win since suffering career-threatening head and neck injuries last August. He was backed offensively by a five-run second inning, with reserve infielder Jonathan Herrera’s two-run homer the big blow. Michael Cuddyer would add a two-run jack of his own later in the game, and Chris Nelson also drove in two runs in the winning effort. In taking the rubber game of the series with the Padres, the Rockies wrapped up a 5-4 homestand and moved back to .500 mark on the season at 6-6. They have a travel day today and open a six-game road trip with the first of three contests in Milwaukee against the Brewers on Friday night.
