Bruce Chen turned in a rare quality start in Saturday's loss to the Mariners, surrendering three runs on seven hits over his six frames. Chen fanned five and walked just one on the evening. He had been absolutely brutal over his previous four starts, so this was a much welcomed improvement from the veteran left-hander. All of the damage came in the third inning, where Jesus Montero belted a two-run homer and Miguel Olivo followed with an RBI single later in the inning. Chen will take a 7-9 record and uninspiring 5.49 ERA into Friday's home start against the Rangers.
