Jacob Nix’ first two Major League starts couldn’t have been more different from one another. Tonight he’ll try to move forward from his last outing and lead the Padres to another win in Colorado.
Nix’ MLB debut was comprised of six scoreless innings against the Phillies. He only gave up four hits, allowed two walks, and struck out four batters. But six days later against the Diamondbacks he failed to even make it out of the first inning, allowing five earned runs while only making two outs. Obviously he’ll need to do much better than that tonight as he faces what may be his toughest test so far: the Rockies at Coors Field.
