Chavez (2-4) took the loss Saturday against the Rangers, allowing four runs on eight hits and a pair of walks across six innings of work. He also struck out three.
The 33-year-old was cruising through his first four frames of the evening, but the wheels came off in the fifth, when Nomar Mazara, Carlos Gomez and Rougned Odor all collected two-out hits to put the Rangers up for good. This hiked Chavez's pitch count up to 97 in his six innings, with 60 of those offerings going for strikes. Fortunately for him, he'll get to return home in his next start Friday against the Astros. He holds a 2.32 ERA in 31 innings over the last three seasons in Angel Stadium.
