Wei-Yin Chen got roughed up for six runs on eight hits in just 4 1/3 innings of Sunday's loss to the Nationals. He struck out five and walked three. Chen was staked to an early 3-0 lead, but ended turning in his shortest start of the season. The non-quality outing was just his second in his past six outings. Now the owner of a 3.35 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 37/17 K/BB ratio through his first 48 1/3 MLB innings, Chen will get the Royals at home next weekend.
