EDGE Analysis
Entering a tie game in the bottom of the ninth, Smith gave up a leadoff single to Victor Robles on his first pitch and plunked Trea Turner with his fourth, setting the stage for a Juan Soto walkoff single. The Atlanta closer looked very good in his first outing this season, however, and Smith's high-leverage role is in no jeopardy after only one shaky appearance, especially with Chris Martin dealing with numbness in his fingers.
