Chen allowed five runs on nine hits and three walks with three strikeouts over 5.2 innings in a no-decision Monday against Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

This one could've gone a lot worse for Chen, who allowed 12 baserunners and gave up two home runs. Luckily for him, both of them were solo blasts, and that's the only thing that kept the Rays from opening the floodgates. Chen has allowed four home runs in his last four starts and now has given up eight in 54.2 innings this season, a rough 1.3 HR/9. Chen's 45:12 K:BB is promising, and more starts in Marlins Park will probably help him keep the ball in the yard, but Chen's mistakes are getting punished hard thus far and his 4.61 ERA reflects that.
