Collectively, two pitchers and outfielder Lane Thomas allowed the damage on the mound. Former Pirate, Chad Kuhl, took most of the damage, as the righty lasted just 3 2/3 innings allowing eight runs on seven hits and four walks in his fifth start of the season, ballooning his season ERA up to 9.41 on the season.

Ildemaro Vargas will begin a rehab assignment this week after getting placed on the 10-day injured list just over two weeks ago due to a left shoulder strain.
