Joe Saunders was hammered in Friday's loss to the Rangers, allowing seven runs on nine hits over his 4 2/3 innings of work. Saunders also walked three without recording a strikeout. Jeff Baker got the Rangers on the board with a solo homer in the second inning, they then erupted for six runs in the fifth inning, highlighted by a two-run triple by Craig Gentry. Though Saunders had pitched well through his first two starts, he's a matchup play at best and should've been avoided for a tough road outing in Arlington. He'll look to get back on track when he takes on the Astros in Houston on Wednesday.
