Bruce Chen surrendered six runs -- two earned -- on 10 hits and a walk over 5 2/3 innings in Monday's loss to the Tigers. A David Lough error allowed Chen to lower his ERA to an ugly 5.07, but he obviously wasn't sharp in this one. He finishes the year having served up 33 home runs, which is currently good for the fourth-highest total in the league. Chen will make $4.5 million in his final year with the Royals next year.
