Kris Medlen gives up nine runs to Phils
Kris Medlen - S - Atlanta Braves
March 18, 2013 - 4:10 PM ET

Kris Medlen was lit up for nine runs in five innings by the Phillies on Monday.

All nine runs were earned, even though the defense behind him was really pretty horrible. The worst of the non-errors was a fly to right-center that neither B.J. Upton nor Jason Heyward decided to catch. It was ruled a single. We see no reason to be concerned about the inflated ERA.
