The Atlanta Journal-Constitution - John Smoltz complained of a sore shoulder after a rough outing against the Mets on Sunday, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

"It's frustrating, I'm not going to lie," Smoltz said. "Especially with the start I've had [this season]. But sometimes you can't do anything, and I just couldn't do anything."

He lasted just four innings against the Mets, allowing four runs and a pair of home runs in a loss.

"I just never got comfortable," he said. "I couldn't command any one pitch that I wanted to, and had to throw a lot of off-speed pitches because my fastball wasn't anywhere near where I needed it to be."

"I was just trying to give as many innings as I could," Smoltz said of the shoulder issues. "But obviously I didn't have very good stuff and I couldn't do much with the hitters today, and they won out."

"I've been struggling [with his shoulder], but been trying to give as many innings as I can. Saturday didn't go the way we wanted it to, and I certainly wanted to try to help the bullpen as much as I could. Four was as much as I could go." [READ]
