Smith earned his first save of the season, setting the Padres down in order with two strikeouts in the ninth inning in a 3-2 victory Saturday.
The 29-year-old had one career save prior to 2018, but he converted 14 of 18 save opportunities once he became the Giants closer last June. He didn't yield a run during six innings this spring and looked sharp in his regular-season debut Saturday night.
