Snell (14-5) tossed five scoreless innings and earned the victory Thursday, allowing just two hits and a walk while striking out six batters in the 3-1 win over the Yankees.
Snell moved to 2-0 in three starts since returning from the disabled list with a shoulder injury. During those three outings, the 25-year-old southpaw has allowed just one run in 14 innings with a nice 15:3 K:BB. Snell was on a pitch count Thursday and ended his start with 76 pitches, a big increase from the 47 he threw in his last appearance. Snell will see the Royals at home Tuesday in his next start.
