Caleb Smith Strikes Out Eight Against Cardinals Tuesday
3 years agoArizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Caleb Smith allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out eight over five innings of work in a 3-2 loss to the Cardinals on Tuesday night. Despite the loss it was another solid outing for Smith, as he now has a 2.87 ERA with 35 strikeouts in 31 1/3 innings of work in the month of June. He's only had one start this month in which he allowed more than two runs, and he has recorded at least six strikeouts in four of his six outings in June. He's looking like a really solid pitcher right now, and should be considered one of the better streaming options in shallow mixed-leagues, and a must-roster in deep mixed and NL-only formats.
