He allowed 2 runs on 5 hits, while walking 4 and striking out 4. On the season, he is now 3-16. The Guardians, at 51-91, sit in last place in the AL Central Division.

With Cleveland trailing 2-1 in the top of the fifth, Smitherman hit a cutter from Andy Pettitte for a 2-run home run. It was his 31st home run of the season and put the Guardians ahead, 3-2.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Smitherman, "one at-bat at a time."
