Steve Cishek was slapped with his fifth loss after allowing three runs over 1 1/3 innings against the Nationals on Sunday. Cishek was called on with one out in the ninth inning of a tie game. He retired the first three batters he faced -- including the leadoff hitter in the 10th -- but then ran into trouble. Cishek ends the first half 17-for-19 in save conversions to go with a 3.24 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 41/13 K/BB rate over 41 1/3 innings.
