Smith (0-1) took the loss in his major league debut after allowing two runs on four hits with one walk and five strikeouts in three innings out of the bullpen Monday in Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was in contention to start this game, but ended up relieving Bryan Mitchell with most of New York's bullpen arms unavailable coming off a 16-inning game and a doubleheader on consecutive days. He was perfect in his first two innings of work before allowing the Twins to break a 2-2 tie with two runs in the eighth. The 25-year-old lefty was 8-0 with a 2.07 ERA as a starter at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but it looks like he'll operate out of the bullpen for now with the big club.
