Click beetween first and second character and use Kerning to adjust this area. Use Character (CTRL/Cmd+T) palette and Kerning option

Be sure your cursor is just beetween characters

Does that look better?

Or use Baseline shift to raise the drop cap a little.

Thank you. I did a combination of both. I like it much better.

There's a part of the Drop Caps feature that's meant to control this descender issue. Under the Options menu of the Paragraph panel, select Drop Caps and Nested Styles. In the window that opens, check Scale for Descenders.

Looks like Derek, Pawel, and Jeff had great suggestions for you. Best bet is to take those settlings and build them into a character style for you drop caps. Then build a paragraph style that has a nested drop cap in it...so you don't have to make changes each drop cap.
