Velasquez (1-2) pitched 4.2 innings, allowing five runs (two earned) on five hits, including two home runs in Tuesday's loss to the Mets.
The runs were the first allowed by the right-hander in 2016. The Mets, who were shut out by Velasquez in six innings on April 9, were all over him from the beginning of this one when Michael Conforto hit a two-run homer in the top of the first. The 23-year-old had an incredible (and obviously unsustainable) start to his season, and it was only a matter of time before reality caught up to him. Owners will have to deal with the growing pains that Velasquez brings, but the long-term payoff should be worth it (especially for those who locked him up in dynasty leagues).
