Trevor Cahill allowed seven runs over four innings in an 8-6 loss to the Dodgers. It was the fifth time in six games and ninth this season that an Arizona starter failed to complete six innings, according to ESPN.com.
"The pitching, the starting pitching. Is there a question about that?" manager Kirk Gibson said. "We got five innings out of the guy today, four, that's tough. The one thing you want to go well is you want to get innings out of your starting pitchers."
Now Josh Collmenter will get his first start on the mound since 2012. The reliever is 13-12 with a 4.03 ERA in 35 career starts. He prepared for this switch by throwing 55 pitches in four scoreless innings of relief Wednesday at San Francisco. The right-hander also had a six-inning stint out of the bullpen in June against Miami, according to ESPN.com.
"I take it in stride and I'll do whatever I can with the team to help out," Collmenter told the team's official website. "It's obviously nice to come back to the rotation. It's something not a whole lot of guys get to do once they are sent to the bullpen. To be able to go back and forth really helps out."
The Mets continue their nine-game road trip after splitting the first six games in Atlanta and Anaheim. Bartolo Colon gave up four home runs as part of the Angels' 17-hit attack in a 14-2 rout. David Wright and Daniel Murphy were ejected after yelling at the home-plate umpire in the sixth inning.
"We've bounced back a couple times," Wright told the Mets' official website. "We've kind of given away a couple games that we should be winning. It's tough to take positives out of that, but at the end of the day, we're putting ourselves in position to win some games, and we need to take advantage of that."
