Snell (0-1) threw 6.2 innings in Thursday's loss to the Blue Jays, giving up five runs (four earned) on three hits to go with five walks and five strikeouts.
The stat line for Snell's 2017 debut is surprising given that he managed to allow more runs than hits in the contest, although that is because one of the three hits was a grand slam by Kendrys Morales. The young left-hander struggled with control all evening, as he finished the night with just 57 of his 97 pitches going for strikes, although his fastball did stay in the mid-90s into the later part of his outing. Snell will look to put this performance behind him when he takes the mound in his next scheduled start Wednesday against the Yankees.
