Josh Smith's Speed and Patience Shine with Hit, 2 Walks, and Steal as Rangers Fall to Blue Jays 2-0 on Wednesday

The recent performance against the Blue Jays fits well into Smith's batting trends. While his overall season average sits at .265, his recent game contributions, including a single and two walks, show consistency in getting on base, reflected by his .341 OBP.

Smith's stolen base against Toronto highlights a key aspect of his situational play. With six steals on the season, his base-running threat persists, even amidst a slump where he holds a .149 average over the past 15 games.
