DETROIT — Most saw Josh Smith hit a single in the fifth inning of Saturday’s game. Texas Rangers manager Skip Schumaker saw it in a different way. Schumaker is trying to get Smith going after an awful first month of the season that saw the former AL Silver Slugger at utility bat under .200. Saturday was his first start since Tuesday against the New York Yankees. He wanted to give the second baseman a couple of games off to rest, even though he was pressed into service on Friday after Brandon Nimmo’s injury. Schumaker was more impressed with where Smith hit the baseball. It told him something about the work Smith has put in the past few days. “That first hit to left-center-ish, that what he’s been working on,” Schumaker said on Sunday. “Hopefully that sparks something.” Josh Smith Trying to Bounce Back Texas Rangers shortstop Josh Smith. | Raymond Carlin III-Imagn Images Smith won the second base job during spring training on merit.
