Maeda (16-11) gave up five runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out three over 2,2 innings in Sunday's loss to the Giants.
He was on a pitch count anyway heading into the postseason, but Maeda burned through them quickly by giving up two runs in the first inning and then three more in the second. He hasn't lasted more than five innings in any of his last four starts, but the 28-year-old still finishes his first MLB campaign with a 3.48 ERA and 179:50 K:BB in 175.2 innings over 32 starts.
