Matt Shoemaker allowed eight runs in just four innings in Friday's 8-6 loss to the Royals. Shoemaker simply didn't have it. The eight runs and eleven hits allowed were both season highs. The Royals battered him in the third inning, putting up seven runs, the big blow being an Omar Infante grand slam. The debacle popped Shoemaker's ERA up to an even 4.50. Disappointing start aside, Shoemaker had actually been pitching incredibly well as of late, lasting seven-plus innings in each of his last two starts. He'll look to rebound when he goes up against the White Sox in his next start.
