Smith also committed an error in the sixth that ultimately allowed Detroit to get on the board, but starter Jose Berrios was able to limit the damage there. Smith has just three hits in 19 at-bats this season in his first taste of major-league action. He should see regular playing time at third base with Cavan Biggio elbow and Santiago Espinal hip both on the injured list. Smith will start at third base and bat eighth Sunday against the Tigers.
After making starts at three different positions -- left field, third base and first base -- over Toronto's last three contests, Smith could find a more permanent home at the hot corner in the short term.

The Jays' No. There's really nothing in his overall line to like -- his BB:K is particularly rough -- and the year-old isn't even young for the level.
