Clarke Schmidt worked six-plus innings of three-run baseball while picking up a win over the Mariners on Monday.
Schmidt gave up a long homer to Julio Rodriguez in the first, and gave up another roundtripper two innings later to Jorge Polanco. After that he settled down quite nicely before giving up another run after he had exited the game in the seventh. He walked a pair while allowing just three hits, and he was able to strike out six. Schmidt has looked good as of late, and he’ll be on the mound Sunday for the Subway Series against the Mets.
