EDGE Analysis

The veteran righty secured the victory despite giving up a pair of homers to Adam Jones and Jonathan Schoop, and an RBI single to Mark Trumbo in the sixth before getting the hook. Shoemaker had the benefit of pitching with a 5-1 lead after two innings, and an 8-1 advantage after four frames. Although his 4-9 record doesn't inspire much confidence, the 29-year-old's performances haven't been as bad as that mark would imply, and he recently put together a stretch of seven quality starts in eight trips to the mound. He'll look to continue turning his season around in his first post-All-Star-break start.
