Bruce Chen was hit hard for the second consecutive outing on Friday, allowing six runs on nine hits over 6 2/3 innings against the Yankees. Chen struck out four and walked one in the game. He doesn't possess overpowering stuff and needs to rely on his pinpoint control to have success. When he catches too much of the plate, as he did on Friday, the results aren't pretty. Mark Teixeira and Derek Jeter each took Chen deep on the night. He'll look to rebound from this disaster and get back on track when he faces the Red Sox next week.
