Fans two for 14th save of 2026
Smith collected the save in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Reds, allowing one walk and zero hits while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning. The Guardians scored five of their seven runs from the sixth to eighth innings, which prompted Cleveland to turn to Smith to close things out in the ninth. He struck out the first two batters he faced and was able to work around a walk to secure his 14th save of the season, which is tied with Mason Miller for most in the majors. Smith has successfully converted each of his last 11 save opportunities and sits at a 2.91 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 31:5 K:BB across 21.2 innings this season.
Secures 13th save
Smith struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning Wednesday to record his 13th save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Angels. The right-hander carved up the heart of the Halos' order, fanning Jorge Soler, Oswald Peraza and Zach Neto on 14 pitches (nine strikes). Smith has converted 10 straight save chances dating back to April 16, posting a 1.54 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 18:1 K:BB over 11.2 innings during that stretch. His 13 saves now leads the majors.
