Smith earned the save Friday against the Cubs, allowing no runs and one hit while striking out the side.

A single surrendered to Carson Kelly was the only blip in an otherwise dominant appearance for Smith. He struck out the other three batters he faced en route to his second save of the season in his third try. The 26-year-old had allowed runs in three straight appearances, but Smith showed what he can bring to the closer's role when he's on his game Friday. He now sports a 7.20 ERA on the season but has just one walk and six strikeouts in five innings.
