Drew Smith Records His First Save Friday
2 years agoNew York Mets reliever Drew Smith completed his first save of the season Friday, closing out the 3-2 victory over the Washington Nationals. The right-hander came into the game with two outs in the ninth and struck out the only batter he faced. Smith now owns a 1.88 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with 20 strikeouts across 14.1 innings. Adam Ottavino pitched the seventh, while David Robertson got the eighth and started the ninth but couldn't finish the game after walking a pair of batters. The 29-year-old Smith has some work to do to be a key member of the Mets closer committee, and he'll likely only be relevant in hold leagues this season, considering he has seven already.
