Simon only recorded seven outs, two of which came on the base paths, in Saturday's 9-5 loss to Minnesota. He allowed 10 hits and seven runs, five of which were earned, in 2.1 innings of work. He struck out one. He has been charged with 28 runs over his last five starts and has seen his ERA balloon from 2.58 to 4.53. On the bright side, he didn't allow a walk. His recent struggles are reminiscent of his pre-Cincinnati days and that's dreadful news for the Tigers. He just can't be trusted right now.
