Smith’s cold start has gotten him dropped from sixth to eighth in the Rangers lineup, but it’s partly been bad luck; he entered the day 3-for-32 with no extra-base hits in spite of having collected 10 hard-hit balls. That bad luck continued initially today, as he was robbed of a homer by Rob Refsnyder in the second inning. However, he did get two line drive singles afterwards, raising his average to .143.
