Chen allowed two runs on three hits and struck out six over five innings in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Both runs scored on solo shots by Yuli Gurriel and prospect Derek Fisher. In fact, all four runs Chen has given up this spring have come on solo blasts, leaving him with a solid 3.27 ERA but unsightly 3.3 HR/9 through 11 innings. His 10:1 K:BB is strong, though, and should be considered a better sign of where the left-hander stands in his preparations for Opening Day.
