Mengden (2-9) allowed eight runs on nine hits and a walk over three innings in a loss Tuesday to the Angels.
Mengden has now allowed six or more runs four times in 14 starts. He has been nasty at times, with 71 strikeouts in 72 innings, but he has walked 33 batters (4.1 BB/9) and simply hasn't been able to overcome the constant flow of baserunners he has allowed. His ERA climbed all the way to 6.50 as a result of the blowup.
