Arizona Diamondbacks' Josh Collmenter was the latest to fare poorly. He was lit up for five runs and seven hits in just 4 2-3 innings, and has a 7.54 ERA while losing his last four outings. They has dropped five of six and trails NL West-leading San Francisco by 2 1/2 games. The Diamondbacks are hitting just .217, and their starting pitchers have given up at least four runs four times on the way to a 5.12 ERA in the last six contests. They are stuck in a bit of a tailspin, but their next starting pitcher has the history to start pulling them out of it.

He is coming off a loss after yielding three runs and a season-high eight hits in six innings of a 3-1 defeat to Philadelphia on Sunday.
