    When Will Smith was drafted in 2007 by the Angels, he dreamed of taking the mound at Angel Stadium one day and having a game like this. It didn't occur to him that it would be in a different team's uniform, though -- and against former minor league teammate Garrett Richards.

    Smith pitched two-hit ball over seven innings in the longest of his five major league starts, and the Kansas City Royals beat Los Angeles 4-1 on Tuesday night. The 23-year-old left-hander was dealt to the Royals along with reliever Sean O'Sullivan for third baseman Alberto Callaspo in July 2010.
