New 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 […]
