Smith allowed an unearned run on two walks while striking out one to earn the save Tuesday against Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Smith managed his 36th save of the season, though he did so in adventurous fashion. Much of the drama was not his fault, as Eddie Rosario committed an error that allowed the tying baserunners to reach second and third base with one out. After intentionally walking Andrew McCutchen, Smith retired the next two batters he faced to work out of trouble. Smith has pitched well in September-- aside from allowing seven walks -- by allowing only two earned runs and striking out 15 across 11 innings. For the season, Smith has maintained a 3.55 ERA with an 84:28 K:BB across 66 frames.

Smith secured the save Sunday against the Padres after tossing a scoreless innings, walking three while also striking out the side.

EDGE Analysis

It was far from a clean inning for the veteran reliever, who only tossed 14 of his 31 pitches for strikes, but he still found a way to limit the damage and shut the door while protecting a slim one-run lead. It wasn't easy, as Smith found himself with one out and the bases loaded, but he struck out both Trent Grisham and Ha-Seong Kim to record his 35th save of the year. He has gone 35-for-41 on save chances this season but has nailed down his last three opportunities, and he has also given up just two earned runs across 10 appearances (10 innings) this month.

Smith fired a perfect ninth inning, striking out two to earn the save in the win over the Giants on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith entered the ninth inning with a three-run lead. It was a solid comeback performance after blowing a save against the Giants on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has now blown saves in two of three chances, but prior to that, he hadn't failed to capitalize on these opportunities since August, when he also recorded two blown saves in less than a week. The reliever gave up a run in two of his last five appearances but still owns a 2.57 ERA through seven innings this month.

Smith allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning Sunday, earning a save over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Smith allowed leadoff triple to Jesus Sanchez and found himself in a first-and-third jam with just one out. He wiggled out of the threat and has now converted 32-of-37 save chances this season, including nine of his last 10. The veteran closer lowered his ERA to 3.66 through 59 frames.

Smith allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out two in the ninth inning to blow the save against the Nationals on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Lane Thomas tripled right away against Smith to open the inning, and the Nationals cashed in after a throwing error by Ozzie Albies as Albies tried to turn two. Smith has given up four runs in his last eight appearances, but his last blown save prior to Thursday was Aug. 11 and he's 31-for-36 in save situations this season.

Smith hit a batter in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 8-5 win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old plunked Juan Soto with one out, but he erased his mistake by getting Josh Bell to ground into a game-ending double play. Smith has bent but not broken over his last 10 outings, allowing three runs on six hits, six walks and two hit batters while going 8-for-8 in save chances in that span. His 31 saves this year ranks third in the majors behind only the Padres' Mark Melancon (36) and the White Sox's Liam Hendriks (32). Smith has a 3.70 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 69:21 K:BB through 56 innings overall.

Smith picked up the save Thursday against the Rockies after tossing a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit and striking out one.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has closed the door in each of his last seven appearances and seems to have bounced back after going 1-for-3 in save opportunities over a five-day stretch last month (Aug. 7 to Aug. 11). While Smith has given up runs in three of his last six appearances, he remains a reliable arm for Atlanta and his role as the closer isn't in any sort of danger. He has gone 30-for-34 in save chances on the season while posting a 3.76 ERA across 55 innings (58 appearances).

Smith allowed a solo home run and struck out one in one inning to earn the save in Friday's 6-5 win over San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

Luckily for Smith, he was called on to protect a two-run lead, as he allowed a solo shot to Wilmer Flores before retiring the next three batters in order. Atlanta's closer is up to 29 saves on the year, and he's converted eight of 10 chances in 13 appearances in August despite yielding eight runs in 12.1 innings. The left-hander has a 3.83 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 68:21 K:BB through 54 innings overall.
