First-career hit Opening Day Smith went 1-for-3 with a single during Thursday's 3-1 win over the Mets.

Getting the start in right field and batting seventh, he wasted no time registering the first hit of his MLB major-league career, swinging on the first pitch seen from Clay Holmes which made its way into right field.
