Shoemaker (1-1) pitched six scoreless innings, allowed just one hit while walking three and striking out five in Wednesday's win over the A's.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker got shelled last week against the Rangers, but rebounded nicely Wednesday. His grip on the fifth spot in the team's rotation is shaky at best. The Angels pitching staff is hampered by injuries to CJ Wilson and Andrew Heaney, so the 29-year-old righty will have some time to show he is worthy of a long-term role.
