Drew Smith Closes Out Friday’s Win For Save No. 3
8 months agoNew York Mets relief pitcher Drew Smith picked up his third save of the year in Friday's 2-1 win over the Seattle Mariners. The 29-year-old allowed a leadoff walk, but then nabbed a key pickoff of pinch-runner Jose Caballero to undo the damage. Dominic Canzone managed a single before Smith struck out Ty France on a foul tip to nail it down. The Mets seem to have embraced a full-blown committee approach at closer also including Adam Ottavino and Brooks Raley. It's not a situation most fantasy managers should want any part of, but Smith is at least worth keeping an eye on to see if he makes inroads on the open gig down the stretch. The right-hander shows a ho-hum 3.97 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 56:22 K:BB in 47 2/3 innings this year.
