Maeda (6-5) allowed four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings to take the loss Saturday at the Pirates.
Maeda started the sixth inning in a 1-1 game, but started the frame by allowing a walk, single and a three-run homer to end his night before retiring a batter. This was the first time he's allowed more than two earned runs in a start in six outings, and his ERA now stands at 2.91 on the year. He'll make his next start Thursday at the Brewers.
