EDGE Analysis
It wasn't smooth sailing, as Smith gave up three hits and walked in a run while trying to protect a 3-1 lead, but he was able to work out of the jam by striking out Mark Canha to end the game and pick up his 29th save of the season. This wasn't his finest outing, but Smith is still in the midst of a standout campaign as the closer for the Giants, as he boasts a 2.55 ERA, a 0.98 WHIP and a 76:15 K:BB over 53 innings.
