Collmenter labored through five innings Wednesday, giving up two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three in St. Louis.
He needed 102 pitches (62 strikes) to complete five frames, but still would have been in line for the win prior to Brad Ziegler taking the loss and the blown save in the ninth inning. While most of the damage to Collmenter's 5.05 ERA came in a May 11 start against the Nationals when he gave up nine runs in 1.1 innings, there also have not been many truly bright spots for the righty so far this season. Even in the complete game shutout he threw against the Giants in April, owners walked away from that start with only two strikeouts, so the upside on a start-to-start basis with Collmenter is lacking in the majority of formats.
