ANALYSIS
After departing his April 29 outing due to taking a comebacker off his right elbow, Smith-Shawver showed no ill effects in this 99-pitch performance. The 22-year-old carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning until Santiago Espinal opened the frame with a single. Smith-Shawver now sports a 3.00 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 27:13 K:BB across 27 innings. He currently lines up to make his next start at Pittsburgh this weekend.
