Meyer (3-4) took the loss against Colorado on Wednesday, allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out six.
Meyer went 1-2-3 through the opening frame before allowing the leadoff man to reach in each of the next two innings, leading to two runs coming home for Colorado -- though only one of those runs would be charged to him on account of a fielding error by Cristian Pache. Meyer would also go on to surrender a solo homer in the fifth and was later relieved by Kent Emanuel in the sixth after failing to retire the first two batters. On a positive note, the 25-year-old Meyer generated 18 whiffs in the contest while logging his second-highest strikeout total this month. However, Meyer has now lost four of his six starts in August, posting a 7.42 ERA over that stretch. He's also coughed up at least one homer in three straight outings.
