Nails down 10th save
Smith secured the save Thursday against the Royals, throwing a clean ninth inning. He struck out two.
Analyse
The 26-year-old right-hander threw just half of his 18 offerings for strikes Thursday, but the Royals were unable to muster a baserunner. Through 17.1 innings, Smith has a 3.12 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 23:4 K:BB while converting 10 of his 12 save opportunities. Smith has allowed just one earned run over his last 11 outings, and now he's tied with David Bednar and Lucas Erceg for the American League lead in saves.

Strikes out side for ninth save
Smith collected his ninth save of the season in the Guardians' 3-1 win over the Royals on Wednesday after allowing one hit and striking out three batters in the ninth inning.
Analyse
Smith made his first appearance out of the bullpen since Friday and was tasked with protecting Cleveland's two-run lead. He was perfect outside of a single by Vinnie Pasquantino, with Smith striking out each of the other three batters he faced. Smith has recorded a save in four consecutive outings (and in six of his last seven appearances), and his nine saves are tied for fifth most in the majors. He sits at a 3.31 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB across 16.1 innings this season.

Picks up eighth save
Smith struck out one over 1.1 perfect innings to earn the save in Friday's 8-5 win over the Athletics.
Analyse
The Guardians had to dig deep in this one, but Smith was able to close it out as the sixth reliever to appear in the game. After a bumpy start to the season, Smith has settled in with just one run allowed over his last 6.1 innings, a span in which he has added a 7:1 K:BB. He's 8-for-10 on save chances this season while pitching to a 3.52 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB through 15.1 innings.
