Abbotsford's Cade Smith ties for tops in Major League Baseball for saves
Cade Smith tied for the MLB saves lead with 41 and struck out the side in Cleveland’s 1-0 win that clinched a playoff berth.
- On Thursday, Abbotsford native Cade Smith secured his 41st save, helping the Cleveland Guardians defeat the Boston Red Sox 1-0 and clinch a playoff berth.
- Smith recorded 41 saves this season, tying Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Bryan Baker for the Major League Baseball lead while helping Cleveland win the American League Central Division for the third consecutive year.
- Posting a 1.95 ERA and 0.90 WHIP, Smith recorded 107 strikeouts while blowing only five save opportunities. "The group that we have here, top to bottom, we're doing everything in our power to win," Smith said.
- Cleveland finished with an 85-77 record, qualifying for the American League Divisional Series as the franchise seeks its first World Series title since 1948, using last year's wild card exit as fuel.
- Smith becomes the first Canadian to lead Major League Baseball in saves since Eric Gagne in 2003. The University of Hawaii graduate was drafted in 2017 before joining the Guardians in 2024.
