Survives long balls for third win Smeltzer (3-0) picked up the win in Friday's 9-4 victory over the Rays, giving up three runs on four hits and three walks over six-plus innings. He struck out three. Impact All three runs off Smeltzer came on a trio of solo shots, with two of them coming back-to-back to lead off the seventh inning, but the Twins had already built a 7-1 lead at that point. The quality start was the third in six outings for the southpaw, and Smeltzer sports a 2.38 ERA and 0.97 WHIP despite a poor 12.5 percent strikeout rate through 34 innings.
