Shoemaker (3-9) was hit hard in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox, allowing five runs on nine hits and two walks in 4.2 innings while striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

He actually kept Boston off the scoreboard for four innings before everything unraveled in the fifth. Shoemaker had posted quality starts in seven of his last eight trips to the mound while striking out at least six batters in each of those outings, so perhaps he was due for a clunker. Things won't get any easier for him in his next start Friday in Baltimore, however.
