Earlier this month, we took a look at what was ailing Drew Smyly. The start after that article went live was not much better as he put 10 men on base and allowed 4 runs over 5 innings of work. The team decided to allow him to skip a start and get 10 full days of rest before the outing last night against the Mariners. The rest seemed to suit him well.
Smyly’s effort against Seattle looked a lot like the back-to-back outings in April when he shut down Cleveland and shut out Boston over eight innings.
