Pirates pitcher Vance Worley could not make it through the fifth inning in Friday's start against the Cubs, as he left the game in line for a no-decision.
Worley tossed 4 2/3 innings in the game, allowing three runs -- two earned -- before he was lifted after 90 pitches. Worley allowed the Cubs to tie the game before he was pulled in the fifth, after allowing five hits and four walks. He also struck out six batters before exiting the game.
Worley's ERA rose to 3.05 in the outing, as he failed to toss a quality start for the fourth time in five trips to the mound. He remains 6-4 on the season heading into his next outing, set for Wednesday in Philadelphia.
