Will Smith lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers to a win over the New York Mets in 10 innings snapped the club’s streak of losses in extra innings at 11 games, which was one shy of tying the MLB record held by the 1969 Montreal Expos.
“We’ve struggled this year in extra innings, so yeah, it was nice to come out ahead and have some momentum for [Saturday],” Will Smith said after hitting a two-run home run that proved to be the difference.
Prior to Friday, the Dodgers’ last win in extras came April 16 when they defeated the San Diego Padres in 12 innings at Petco Park.
