Mike Pelfrey gave up four runs on 11 hits over six innings. Justin Wilson earned the win in relief, and Francisco Rodriguez collected his 13th save.

Justin Upton missed last night’s game after feeling tightness in his right quad. He’s considered day-to-day. Pitcher Jordan Zimmermann has been diagnosed with a minor groin strain. The injury forced him out of Sunday’s game. Manager Brad Ausmus says Zimmermann will miss his next start, but can probably avoid the disabled list.
