Daniel Bard struggled in his second start back in the rotation, allowing the Athletics four runs on eight hits in just 5 1/3 innings on Wednesday. Bard continued showing his improved command, walking just two in the game, but he only recorded one strikeout. The loss drops him to 2-3 with a 4.38 ERA on the season. He'll look to get back in the win column when he takes on the Royals in Kansas City on Tuesday.
