Pirates starter Vance Worley was knocked around Wednesday against the Tigers.
Worley gave up five runs, three earned, on nine hits over 5 1/3 innings. He struck out four and walked one during the outing. Worley performed fairly well early on, giving up one run over the first four innings. He imploded in the fifth. Worley gave up a leadoff home run to open the frame. After a single and an error, Worley allowed two more runs to score before getting out of the inning. Neither run was charged to Worley due to the error. The following inning, Worley gave up another solo shot, which chased him from the game.
With the loss Worley fell to 5-2 on the year. He'll take on the Braves in his next start.
