Maeda was rocked for five runs on seven hits and a walk across just 4.1 innings in Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks. He struck out five.
Arizona got to Maeda early, scoring three runs in the first, and they tacked on one run in both the fourth and fifth innings to chase him from the game after just 84 pitches. Maeda has pitched well on the whole this season, as his ERA still sits at 3.25 even after Sunday's shellacking, and he will attempt to bounce back Saturday versus the Cardinals, albeit in a tough road matchup.
