Smith recorded his 30th save of the season in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Reds, walking one and striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.
The right-hander wasn't at his sharpest, needing 18 pitches (nine strikes) to preserve a 6-5 lead, but Smith was able to get the job done. He continues to lead the majors in saves, with his 30 putting him two ahead of the Rays' Bryan Baker, and through 10.2 innings in July, Smith sports a 0.84 ERA, 0.56 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB.
