Drew Smith Records One-Out Save
1 year agoNew York Mets right-handed pitcher Drew Smith recorded his second save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. The save was of the unconventional variety, as Brooks Raley recorded two outs in the ninth but allowed a baserunner, prompting the Mets to turn to the righty. Smith got Drew Ellis to fly out to earn the one-out save. Adam Ottavino and David Robertson were both presumably unavailable in this one given they worked the previous two days. Throw all of this together and it makes it pretty clear that this was a one-off for Smith, who is unlikely to see many save opportunities.
