It was a rough outing for Pirates SP Zach Duke (0-1), who was 4-2 with a 2.01 ERA in nine previous starts against Chicago, during Sunday's 13-5 loss to the Pirates. This time, he allowed five runs and eight hits in four innings and his ERA climbed from 2.89 to 4.37. He walked two and hit two batters. Only 36 of his 69 pitches were strikes. 'You can't overanalyze it too much,' he said. 'You can get into a big downward spiral if you let yourself do that. I'm going to take this one for what it is and bounce back next time.'
