OAKLAND, Calif. -- After having to wait until age 36 to make his first major-league start, Oakland Athletics right-hander Chris Smith knows better than to look too far ahead.
Smith is just living his dream one day at a time, and he'll make his fourth career start Saturday night when the A's face the Minnesota Twins and rookie Adalberto Mejia in the second game of a three-game series at Oakland Coliseum.
"Yeah, I'm just doing what I'm told, right?" Smith said Friday before the A's 6-3 loss to Minnesota.
