## Resource

Cade Smith is dominating as the Guardians’ closer, winning AL Reliever of the Month for May after converting all 13 save chances, striking out 25 batters, and allowing just two earned runs over 13⅓ innings. His 21 saves in 23 opportunities lead the league, including an 18-game save streak capped by a win over the Yankees. Taking over the closer role last July, Smith thrives on the high-pressure, fast-paced rhythm of closing games, focusing on attacking the strike zone and getting ahead. The Guardians’ bullpen as a whole has been stellar, supporting Smith’s dominance, and together they’ve kept the team in first place in their division with an 18-11 record in May. Smith credits the team effort, but his performance is becoming the anchor that could carry them into the postseason. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
