Smyly pitched six innings, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out three Yankees in Tuesday's no-decision.
The lefty turned a 2-1 lead over to the bullpen, only to watch Brad Boxberger promptly give up four runs in the seventh, throwing Smyly's fine outing by the wayside. It was certainly a disappointing outcome for the hurler, who has won five straight decisions, especially considering he was only at 87 pitches and could have work his way into the seventh. On the bright side, Tuesday's performance earned Smyly his first quality start in his last four outings while lowing the 27-year-old's ERA to 4.86, its lowest mark since Aug. 26. He'll go for his eighth win of the season when he takes the hill for his next start Monday against the White Sox.
