Drew Smyly 2 7 4.78 4.10 26.9% 5.4% .246 .297 16 14 84.2 1.3
Tyler Wilson 3 5 4.19 4.27 12.9% 5.5% .248 .264 8 11/14 73.0 0.9

Drew Smyly's season has been a series of ups-and-downs as he tried to build upon his twelve strikeout performance his last time out, but the Giants were able to get to him for four runs on eight hits, however, Smyly was able to record seven innings, while he did walk none and struck out five.

Tyler Wilson Scouting Report:

Wilson has been mediocre thus far in 2016, but has however pitched well enough to keep his team in the game. He just one start removed from stifling the Red Sox for eight shutout innings, but his last start was a downgrade from that performance as he delivered six innings and yielded three runs on nine hits -- one home run -- while he walked one and struck out four.
