Chen (0-1) struck out seven while limiting the Nationals to three runs on six hits over seven innings Wednesday, but got nearly no offensive support in a losing effort.

EDGE Analysis

After an uninspiring Marlins debut, Chen's bounced back with two quality outings in a row. Considering his improvement in home ballpark, it wouldn't be surprising to see him keep bringing down his ratios and ultimately outperform last season's career-best 3.34 ERA and 1.22 WHIP, particularly if he can fare this well against quality competition. He'll draw the Dodgers on Monday.
