Smith allowed no hits and a walk while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Friday's win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was charged with the blown save when he allowed two runs in one inning during his last outing, and he encountered some trouble Friday by hitting the leadoff batter in the ninth inning before issuing a walk to bring the go-ahead run to the plate. The southpaw has now converted on three of his five save chances across six appearances in August, and he's recorded a 7.50 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in six innings during that time.
