Matt Shoemaker allowed 3 ER on 4 hits in 5 1/3 innings against the Mariners on Thursday. He struck out six and picked up his third win.
Shoemaker, who was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday, put on a good road showing as he lasted into the sixth and was pulled at just 73 pitches. He had the benefit of facing a Robinson Cano-less lineup. Michael Saunders did the only real damage to Shoemaker's line, smacking a two-run homer in the fourth and a sacrifice fly in the sixth (the sacrifice fly was off of Kevin Jepsen, who came in to relieve Shoemaker with two on in the sixth). On the season, he's put up a 3.54 ERA while being shuttled up and down from AAA.
