Rays pitcher Drew Smyly bounced back with a gem Monday night against the Rangers, improving to 7-10 on the season. The right-hander permitted three hits and three walks while striking out nine over 7 2/3 scoreless innings of a 7-0 victory.

Over his first two starts with the Rays covering 13 innings, Smyly has allowed only three earned runs. He owns a 3.73 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP over 118 1/3 innings. He will make his next start Saturday at home against the Yankees.
