Allen did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-4 extra-inning win over Pittsburgh, pitching 5.2 innings while allowing one run on five hits and one walk. He struck out five.

The 26-year-old southpaw looked solid in this outing, tossing 95 pitches and generating seven whiffs, falling one out short of his first quality start of the season. The only blemish on Allen's day was a run-scoring double off the bat of Andrew McCutchen in the sixth inning. Allen now sports a 2.11 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 16:10 K:BB over 21.1 innings. He currently lines up to make his next start against the Red Sox at home next weekend.
