Chavez (5-6) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over 5.2 innings in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

He held Detroit scoreless for five innings before tiring in the sixth, a pattern that's been common ever since the 33-year-old began taking a regular turn in the rotation a few years ago with Oakland. Chavez gets a tough assignment in his next start Sunday on the road against an Astros squad with a league-leading .353 wOBA against righties.
