Billingsley allowed five runs on eight hits with one walk and three strikeouts in a loss to the Mets on Sunday. Billingsley held the Mets to a run over four innings before giving up a two-run home run to Curtis Granderson in the fifth and then two more runs in the sixth. He still has some work to do with location of his pitches, but that is to be expected after not pitching for two years. He also needs to make an adjustment against left handed batters. They are 12-for-24 with three home runs and two doubles in Billingsley's two starts.
