Josh Smith News: Collects two hits in loss

Smith started at first base and went 2-for-5 with a walk, a double and a two runs scored in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Mariners.

Smith made a third consecutive start at first base with Jake Burger (oblique) on the 10-day injured list. All three starts have come against righties, which is the typical pattern for the lefty-hitting Smith. June is shaping up to his best month, as he sports a .910 OPS with 10 extra-base hits and nine RBI over 19 games this month.
