 In 1995 , Smith registered a save in every appearance from April 28 to June 25 . On June 11 , he saved his 16th consecutive game to break the major league record set by Doug Jones in 1988 . He ran his streak to 19 games before finally blowing a save on June 28 . ( John Wetteland broke the record the next year by saving 24 straight ) . After keeping his ERA at 0 @.@ 00 through the first two months of the season , he was selected to his seventh and final All @-@ Star Game , thereby becoming only the fourth player to be an All @-@ Star for four different teams ( after Walker Cooper , George Kell and Goose Gossage ) . Smith did not fare well for the next month , pushing his ERA all the way up to 5 @.@ 40 . Regardless , the Angels held a double @-@ digit lead in the division and seemed set for the postseason . Instead , California suffered one of the worst collapses in major league history , blowing the entire double @-@ digit lead in less than six weeks . While the rest of the team was reeling , Smith reverted to his early @-@ season form and pitched fantastically for the last two months , only blowing one save attempt in that span . He finished the season with 37 saves and a 3 @.@ 47 ERA , which was more than a point higher than the league average .
