Snell allowed six runs on seven hits -- including two homers -- over four innings in a no-decision against the Twins on Wednesday. He struck out seven and did not issue a walk.
The 7:0 K:BB looks good, but Snell was living in the strike zone a bit too much in this one, and Brian Dozier and Ehire Adrianza made him pay with a pair of long balls. He has a respectable 3.92 ERA since the All-Star break even after Wednesday's slip-up, but Snell is still figuring it out at the big-league level and more ups and downs should be expected as he continues along the major-league learning curve. Snell lines up to face the Yankees in his next scheduled start.
