Snell didn't factor into the decision Friday versus the Twins, but turned in another solid outing, striking out seven while giving up just one earned run on four hits and two walks over 5.1 innings.
The rookie was at 97 pitches by the sixth, leading to his exit. However, Snell certainly impressed once again while on the mound, inducing 12 swinging strikes while putting together a fifth straight start with no more than two earned runs given up. He also stayed away from the long ball for the fourth time in the last five trips to the mound and has given up just two gopher balls over his 55 innings this season. Snell brought his ERA down to a stellar 2.95 with the outing and will look for his fourth victory when he faces the Blue Jays in Toronto next Wednesday.
