Eickhoff allowed six of seven batters to reach base in the sixth as the Rockies took an 8-2 lead. He allowed a career-high eight runs in 5 1/3 innings to finish the half at 6-10 with a 3.80 ERA.
"I just try to be as consistent as I can," Eickhoff said. "Obviously today I wasn't able to do that, but I'm still positive. Just one inning. Should I have minimized it a little better? I think so, no doubt. But overall the consistency from start to start, I'm pretty happy with."
So, consider Saturday night more of a blip on Eickhoff's radar than anything troubling.
