In his brief career, he has faced a handful of Colorado players and has allowed 4 hits in 18 at-bats. Of those hits, just 1 is a home run (Charlie Blackmon).

The 28-year-old veteran of Venezuela has gotten off to an up and down 2014 thus far. He is currently 3-1 through his first 6 appearances, including 5 starts. He began the season cold and was taken out of the rotation, but was quickly brought back in and has fared better. In his last 3 starts, he has allowed 6 earned runs in 18 innings with 14 strikeouts. In his career against the current New York roster, he has allowed 5 hits in 18 at-bats with 2 home runs allowed (Curtis Granderson and Chris Young).
