Juan Mejia can't escape first inning as opener Thursday

Juan Mejia allowed two runs on three hits in two-thirds of an inning as Colorado's opener on Thursday. Colorado, however, came back to win, 3-2, against Houston.
Fantasy Impact:
Two batters into his outing, Mejia was already trailing 1-0 as Jose Altuve singled, took second on a wild pitch, and then came in to score on a single by Yordan Alvarez. He seemingly settled down by striking out the next two batters, but then hit Christian Walker with a pitch and allowed an RBI single to Joey Loperfido to end his day early. Mejia has struggled to a 7.00 ERA in nine innings this season, allowing 14 hits with a 7:4 K:BB ratio. It was Mejia's first career start on Thursday but after his struggles, that experiment may not continue.
