Smyly didn't factor into the decision Monday in Cleveland, as he gave up four runs on eight hits over seven innings while striking out five without a walk.
Smyly has an incredible 17 strikeouts and no walks over his last two starts, yet hasn't picked up a win over that span. His 4.78 ERA isn't very impressive, but luck hasn't been on the 27-year-old's side as he has accrued an atrocious 2-7 record thus far. His strikeout potential (9.99 K/9) makes Smyly an interesting option, though his next projected matchup Sunday in Baltimore is far from ideal.
