Smoker tossed three scoreless innings of relief Tuesday, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out four to get the win in an extra-inning victory over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander with the big fastball had a 2.45 ERA on April 18 but has been a disaster since, getting scored upon in seven of his last 10 appearances heading into Tuesday. With Steven Matz (elbow) and Seth Lugo (elbow) both close to rejoining the Mets staff, bumping Robert Gsellman to the bullpen, Smoker needed a strong performance if he's going to keep his spot in the big leagues.
