Shoemaker turned in a gem Saturday versus the Orioles, striking out 12 without issuing a walk and allowing just three hits across 7.1 scoreless innings. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander turned in what was far and away his best start of the season, but interim closer Joe Smith allowed three runs in the top of the ninth to rob him of his second straight win. Despite the strong outing, Shoemaker's ERA still sits at an unsightly 6.81, and he will look to build off of Saturday's performance in his next start Friday versus Houston.
