Josh Collmenter scattered three hits in a complete game win over the Reds on Thursday in which he faced the minimum 27 batters. He struck out five and didn't walk a batter. Collmenter faced the minimum 27 batters after inducing three double plays to erase the trio of hits he gave up. Since 1914, there's been only 13 pitchers who have faced the minimum 27 batters while allowing at least three hits, with Collmenter the latest on the list. Roy Oswalt last pulled off the feat in 2008. Tonight's effort marked Collmenter's first career complete game and shutout. He needed only 94 pitches to pull off the trick, coaxing 13 ground balls from the Reds. Now 4-2 with a 3.34 ERA, Collmenter has a tough matchup coming up with a road date in Colorado next week.
