Bruce Chen allowed three runs on four hits in five innings of Sunday's loss to the Pirates. He struck out five and walked one in falling to 5-6. Chen settled down after becoming Andrew McCutchen's latest victim on a two-run homer in the first, but was pinch hit for by Clint Robinson in the sixth after throwing just 79 pitches. Chen has failed to record more than 15 outs in three of his past four outings, and will bring a 4.44 ERA into his start against the Cardinals next weekend.
