Royals pitcher Will Smith was called up from the minors to start Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Indians. He allowed six runs (four earned) on seven hits over four-plus innings of work in the 10-3 loss.

The left-hander was tagged with a two-spot in the first before surrendering a three-run homer to Mike Aviles in the third. He was charged with his final damage in the fourth and was pulled for Bruce Chen after walking the leadoff batter in the fifth.

Smith, who threw 77 pitches, also struck out five in the defeat.
