Smith (2-4) took the loss in a defeat at the hands of the Red Sox on Tuesday, allowing an earned run on one hit while recording two strikeouts over one-plus inning.

EDGE Analysis

Smith came on to work the seventh of a 2-2 game and fired a scoreless frame with a pair of strikeouts, but the leadoff triple he yielded to Xander Bogaerts in the eighth eventually led to a run given up by Drew Steckenrider that went on Smith's ledger and resulted in a loss going on his ledger. The veteran right-hander saw a brief but encouraging streak of three consecutive scoreless appearances snapped with Tuesday's stumble, yet he's been solid overall save for a handful of instances since arriving in Seattle with a 2.45 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 0.6 HR/9 and two holds across 14.2 innings.
