RecapCraig Kimbrel had a brutal inning in Thursday afternoon’s loss to the Rockies, giving up four runs on three hits and a walk.
The 37-year-old hurler took over in a 2-2 ballgame in the bottom of the eighth inning, giving up singles to TJ Rumfield and Troy Johnston before issuing a walk to Willi Castro to load the bases. He then served up a grand slam to Jake McCarthy that blew the game completely open and sunk the Mets’ hopes. He now holds a miserable 7.56 ERA over 8 1/3 innings in nine appearances with the Mets this season.
