Smith fired a perfect 1.1 innings in a win over the Rays on Monday, recording two strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran's AL West change of scenery has agreed with him, as Smith now has three perfect frames over three appearances on his Mariners ledger. A reliable later-inning asset for most of his long career, Smith limped to a 7.48 ERA and 1.80 WHIP across 21.2 innings with the Astros before being moved to Seattle, but he could eventually start to see some higher-leverage opportunities in his new locale if he manages to keep up his current caliber of performance.
