Juan Mejia - First blown save in loss Mejia picked up a blown save Wednesday in the 5-4 loss to the Rangers, giving up one hit and tallying one strike out over a 0.2 innings.

Impact Mejia inherited the bases loaded with one out and the lead, but allowed a run to score on a pass ball by the catcher Brett Sullivan and on a single by Josh Jung. With several Rockies pitchers getting saves this season, Meija was in the mix for a closer role with three saves heading into this game. The right-hander should still be in the mix for save opportunities as he has not given up an earned run in seven relief appearances.

The 26-year-old gave up the lead in the fifth after conceding three hits that inning. The first-round pick gave up his second-most hits in a game this season with seven, so there was constant pressure on the base paths the entire game for the young starter still trying to gain his footing in the big leagues. Next time on the mound, Leiter is scheduled to face Kansas City at home this weekend.

All of the runs today against the Rockies' Opening Day starter came with back-to-back long balls in the fourth by Ezequiel Duran and Jake Burger. The lefty is scheduled to make his next start against the Dodgers next week.
