Shoemaker twirled four innings of shutout ball Tuesday, striking out two in a loss to the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

This was Shoemaker's best showing since returning from a skull fracture he suffered late last season. He needed just 41 pitches to make it through his four innings of work. The right-hander has struck out 10 batters over nine innings this spring and is improving with each start. Shoemaker will look to pick up where he left off last season when he posted a 3.00 ERA post-All-Star break.
