Shoemaker (2-5) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts over five innings in Monday's win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker pounded the zone, with 57 strikes in 91 pitches and 17 first-pitch strikes to 23 hitters. He probably would have gotten the chance to finish the quality start in an American League stadium, but his start ended when the Angels pinch hit for him in the sixth inning. Underwhelming as it might be, this start marks a step in the right direction, as Shoemaker had allowed at least four runs and pitched four innings or fewer in each of his past three starts heading into this one. Shoemaker owns a 22:13 K:BB in 29.2 innings with an 8.49 ERA as hitters seem to have figured him out since his breakout season back in 2014.
