Will Smith became a dad of three — then came up…
Will Smith has unlocked a new energy.
Dad strength.
Smith, who welcomed in his third youngster alongside his spouse, Cara, forward of Wednesday night time’s NLCS Game 3 matchup against the Milwaukee Brewers, confirmed off his newly discovered strength when the Dodgers needed it most.

Smith came up to the plate in the sixth inning, with the bases loaded after Brewers supervisor Pat Murphy made the questionable choice to go away right-handed pitcher Abner Uribe in the sport, despite strolling three of the 4 batters he confronted in the inning.
The Dodgers catcher, who’s had his truthful share of struggles in the postseason this 12 months, needed to see only one pitch to capitalize on the second after Uribe threw a 98.4 mph sinker in the center of the strike zone.

Smith immediately launched the ball off the middle discipline wall for a double and introduced home Teoscar Hernandez and Kyle Tucker from third and second base, while Shohei Ohtani slid into third to make it a 2-1 lead for the Dodgers.
It was the first lead of the night for Los Angeles, after they gave up a leadoff home run to Jackson Chourio on the opening pitch of the sport.
After Smith’s double, the Brewers pulled Uribe from the sport and introduced in DL Hall.
Dodgers supervisor Dave Roberts made his truthful share of strategic strikes by having Max Muncy come off the bench to bat in place of Andy Pages after Tucker’s stroll. He also went to another veteran by pulling Josue De Paula and having Kike Hernandez pinch-hit for him.
Hernandez went down swinging, while second baseman Tommy Edman went down trying.
