Dominant three-inning save Smith allowed one hit over three scoreless innings to earn the save in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Astros. He struck out four and did not issue a walk.

Impact Smith has been one of the stories of the season so far for Oakland, as he has excelled to the tune of 10 strikeouts and a 0.48 WHIP over 10.1 scoreless innings, earning two wins and now a save. The right-hander was DFA'd by the Giants in February and traded to the A's for cash considerations. He's been with six different big-league organizations.

Continues dominance Wednesday Smith fired 3.1 perfect innings in a win over the Rangers on Wednesday, recording four strikeouts.

Impact Smith recorded 10 outs on just 33 pitches, 24 of which he got into the strike zone. The veteran reliever also induced six swinging strikes, and his ability to log multiple quality innings when a starter struggles along the lines of how Sean Manaea did Wednesday makes him an invaluable asset for manager Bob Melvin. Factoring in Wednesday's effort, Smith has now fired 7.1 scoreless frames while allowing just three hits and generating a 6:1 K:BB over four appearances.

Notches second victory Smith (2-0) was credited with the victory in a win over the Angels on Monday, allowing one hit over two scoreless innings and recording one strikeout.

Impact The offseason acquisition from across the bay in San Francisco has been nearly perfect early, recording nine outs over a modest 39 pitches across his first two appearances. Smith's ability to work multiple innings -- he started 13 games for the Padres and Royals in 2013 and 2018, respectively, and 75 games during his minor-league career -- already proved valuable Monday, and he could be in for similar usage early in the season as starters' arms are built up.
