"He had a good outing. Unfortunately he made a couple bad pitches at the wrong time. He wanted to get the pitch low and away, but missed it both times, which Agon didn't miss. And on the third time he just took that pitch the other way like a good hitter does."

"You guys know we need innings out of guys, and he gives us a chance to win a ballgame," Gibson said of Collmenter. "He's shown that in 2011, he's done it out of the bullpen. Just looking at our options, we think that's the smartest way to go. We're going to go with this and see how it works."

The 200-inning mark is special for a lot of pitchers, but none more so for Diamondbacks right-hander Bronson Arroyo. He's reached that total in eight of his past nine seasons, and the one year he didn't he was short by just a single inning.

Bumgarner the hitter | MLB.com
There's a lot of way to lose a baseball game. You can lose by a walkoff, going 0-12 with RISP, shut-out by some random pitcher, etc. I'm pretty sure none of those compare to the way the Rockies lost.
