In his major league debut, Smith struck out nine batters, retiring 20 in a row at one point, in a win over the Boston Red Sox.[1] Tony Gwynn recorded his 3,000th career hit off Smith on August 6, 1999.[2] In July 2003, he was placed on the disabled list with inflammation in his rotator cuff which required surgery and would not pitch in the majors again.[3][4]
