Kendrick was touched up for three runs on nine hits over 5.2 innings on Friday against the Diamondbacks, but didn't factor into the decision. He struck out six, hit one batter with a pitch, and walked none. The outing represented one of Kendrick's better efforts of the season, but the fact that he couldn't even meet the criteria for a quality start illustrates just how porous he's been this season. It's not just a product of pitching at Coors Field, either -- Kendrick is 2-6 with a 5.52 ERA and a .284 batting average against over 10 road starts.
