Allen did not factor into the decision on Monday's 7-6 loss versus the Diamondbacks. He allowed two runs on five hits and two walks across five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was recalled to make his first start since July 6 after struggling to a 5.67 ERA in his first 18 starts, barely making it out of the first inning on Monday. He gave up back-to-back home runs to the first two hitters he faced and then loaded the bases before barely escaping the opening frame. Allen went on to get through the next four inning unscathed, which makes his final line seem better than it actually was, but he's tough to trust should he get another turn in the rotation.
