Koehler didn't factor into the decision on Friday versus the Phillies, striking out seven and giving up two earned runs on five hits and three walks over five innings-plus.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran ran into some control problems, firing 101 pitches over just over five innings. Koehler didn't run into as much trouble with the long ball as in his last start, giving up just a solo shot to Ryan Howard. The 30-year-old has pitched reasonably well over his last 11 starts, but has just one victory since Aug. 3. He'll try again for his third consecutive season with double-digit victories when he takes on the Nationals next Wednesday.
