Although he struck out eight, Carson Palmquist gave up four runs over 4 2/3 innings Sunday in a loss to the Mets.
Palmquist struck out a total of six batters over 13 1/3 innings in his first three major league starts, so that’s a big improvement, at least. He’s actually the first Rockies pitcher to fan eight batters in a game this season. Palmquist took the loss, so he’s now 0-4 with an 8.50 ERA. He’s due to face the Mets again, this time at Coors, next weekend.
