Smyly (6-11) allowed four runs on five hits -- including two home runs -- and a walk while striking out seven in 6.2 innings during Sunday's win over the Rangers.
It's the eighth time in 24 starts that Smyly has served up multiple homers in a game, but this was the first time he managed to win one of those outings, as the Rays' offense gave him plenty of support. He's now won four straight decisions thanks in large part to Tampa scoring 6.8 runs per game for him during that stretch, although his 3.03 ERA and 29:8 K:BB in 32.2 innings over those five games deserve some credit too. He'll next take the mound Friday in Houston, which may not help him get his long-ball issues under control.
