Justin Nicolino pitches another gem Tuesday - Justin Nicolino (S) Miami Marlins

Marlins pitching prospect Justin Nicolino surrendered eight hits over six shutout innings Tuesday in a win for Triple-A New Orleans.

He threw 52 of his 83 pitches for strikes. The 23-year-old hasn't allowed a run in five of his last six outings, recording a 1.50 ERA during that stretch. Nicolino is holding left-handed hitters to a paltry .200 average this season and has yet to lose a game in 2015. Despite a pedestrian 25-to-11 strikeout to walk ratio, Nicolino leads the Pacific League in ERA at 1.55. May 13 - 2:45 PM
