Picks up sixth win
PCleveland Guardians
August 3, 2024
Smith (6-1) struck out three over 1.2 perfect innings to earn the win Friday over the Orioles.
ANALYSIS
Carlos Carrasco covered only 4.1 innings, and Smith was able to vulture a win with another strong performance. This outing extended Smith's scoreless streak to 16 innings over his last 13 appearances, and he's allowed just six hits and two walks while striking out 25 in that span. For the season, he's at a 1.86 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 74:11 K:BB, and he's backed up those stellar numbers with a 1.42 FIP and 2.34 xERA that suggest his results are mostly earned.
