Tigers pitcher Drew Smyly didn't factor into the decision Monday, giving up three earned runs on seven hits and five walks in five innings while striking out six in his team's 5-4, extra-innings loss to the Indians.
Smyly had issued just 11 walks in 33 1/3 innings heading into Monday's start, when he watched the Indians' first run score on a wild pitch in the first inning and struggled with his control throughout, needing 110 pitches just to complete five innings. He owns a 3.05 ERA and 36:16 K:BB ratio in 38 1/3 innings. Smyly is tentatively slated to make his next start next Tuesday against the A's.
