The Red Sox have closed games by committee so far this season, and Boston turned to Josh Smith on Thursday night to continue that trend.
Smith previously had never recorded a save during his big league career, but the 31-year-old closed the door in Boston’s comeback win over the Texas Rangers at Fenway Park. The right-hander said his adrenaline was on another level in the ninth, and added that he enjoyed the experience.
