When Merrill Kelly was acquired by the Texas Rangers at the trade deadline, Chris Young got one of the best starting pitchers on the market. Unfortunately, the move hasn't worked out all that well.
After a very good start in his first outing, a mental breakdown and the lack of offensive backup led to a loss. The story on Friday night was quite a bit different. He managed to last just 4.1 innings, walking 5, and allowing 5 hits, 2 home runs, and 4 earned runs. He also didn't get any run support in the 9-1 loss.
