Simon gave up three runs on four hits and two walks, while striking out seven over seven innings, in a loss to the Pirates on Saturday. Simon is starting to right the ship a bit, with back-to-back quality starts, but he's still just 1-6 since the All-Star break. The 33-year-old's decline has come as little surprise, as his .232 BABIP and 4.33 FIP in the first half were obvious indicator that his 2.70 ERA and .217 BAA were unsustainable.
