Burch Smith has bounced around six teams thus far through his MLB career, but it appears he has found a home with the A's.
The 30-year-old right-handed reliever has been has been practically unhittable coming out of Oakland's bullpen this season, and he had his most impressive performance yet in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Texas Rangers.
Smith came on in relief of starter Sean Manaea, who ran into trouble in the fourth and departed with runners on first and third after allowing three runs in the inning. Smith got Scott Heineman to pop out to second and Shin-Soo Choo to flyout to left to get back in the dugout without further damage.
