Rea allowed three runs with three strikeouts and two walks across five innings Sunday versus the Dodgers. He did not factor into the decision.
Rea delivered the latest in a series of solid, yet unspectacular performances Sunday, and he actually pitched into the sixth inning, although he was pulled after allowing the first three men to reach. His ERA sits at an uninspiring 4.47, and he'll face a tough test in his next start Saturday at Arizona.
