Smith went 2 for 4 with a double and a two-run single in the fourth inning. He's batting .273 on the season. Smith has gone 4 for 9 over his last two games with two doubles, a home run and four RBI. 

Redick homered in the eighth inning and fell a double shy of the cycle. He finished 4 for 5 with two runs scored and two RBI, improving his batting average to .211 with three home runs.

If you really don't want him on your team anymore, my Fantasy Baseball Today colleagues ran through some Straily trade scenarios on Tuesday's show. But as you know from owning ... fill in the blank -- any pitcher in the history of time would work ... one bad start doesn't trump a series of good starts. Straily came into Monday's start with a 2.20 ERA in his previous five. What a find he was for your pitching staff. What a boon off the waiver wire. You're going to throw that away because of that one time he stumbled? Ruthless.

Not to mention short-sighted. I can understand being somewhat discouraged with his strikeout rate so far given his minor-league track record, but he has a 1.14 WHIP on the season. And that includes all those ugly starts before he had a chance to settle into the Athletics' rotation. Straily pitches deep into games, doesn't walk anyone and, apart from Monday, doesn't give up home runs. He does everything a non-strikeout pitcher needs to do to succeed, only with him, you can still hold out hope for strikeouts. What more can you ask of a pitcher?

Maybe you guys just play in smaller leagues than I do.

Lowrie went 2 for 3 with a walk and a run scored. He's batting .297 with 20 doubles and 25 RBI. 

The shortstop has struggled in June, but he is beginning to pick things up again with hits in five of his last six games. 

Jaso is batting .389 (14 for 36) with one home run, two doubles, six RBI, seven runs and seven walks in June. His batting average has improved from .252 to .281 during his June run.

He went 0 for 5 Tuesday at Texas to snap a seven-game hitting streak in which he went 10 for 26 (.385) with two homers, five RBI and a stolen base. Crisp is batting .292 for the season. 

Milone gave up a two-run homer to Lance Berkman in the second inning and it was all downhill from there. He ended up allowing six earned runs on eight hits and a walk over 5 1/3 innings in defeat. He threw 100 pitches and struck out just one batter. His ERA is at 3.98. 

The 26-year-old has dropped two straight outings, but gave up just three runs over 13 2/3 innings in his previous two despite an 0-1 record. He should bounce back when he next takes the hill Tuesday against Cincinnati. 

Moss is batting .357 (10 for 28) with one triple, six runs, seven RBI and 10 strikeouts in his last six games. Prior to his hot streak, Moss hit .132 (7 for 53) over a 24-game stretch from May 14-June 11.

Donaldson doubled, hit a solo home run and scored twice in a 10-2 rout of Seattle. Donaldson hit his second June home run and compiled his fifth multi-hit game this month. Donaldson is batting .254 (15 for 59) with two doubles and 10 RBI in 14 June games.

Colon (9-2) has won six straight starts and has allowed two runs or fewer in each of those outings. He is scheduled to start Friday in a rematch with the Mariners at Safeco Field. He is 5-2 with a 3.12 ERA in seven road starts.
