Bruce Chen's struggles continued in Saturday's loss to the Tigers, as he surrendered six runs on nine hits in just 3 1/3 innings of work. Chen struck out three and walked two in the abbreviated outing. Prince Fielder's two-run shot got the scoring started in the first inning, then the Tigers added three in the second and another in the fourth before Chen was finally lifted. It was the third time in his last five outings that Chen has allowed six or more earned runs. He'll look to improve on his 7-8 record and inflated 5.22 ERA in the second half of the season.
