The Dodgers got off to a great start against Arizona in their series on Monday night. The offense woke up early, and Walker Buehler carried them throughout the entire game. He ended up tossing a shutout and allowing just 3 total hits to go along with 10 strikeouts. It was incredible.
But lost in the shuffle of that shutout win was the homerun off the bat of Will Smith. The Dodgers catcher had struggled a little bit to get things going offensively, but an 8th-inning homerun might be exactly what he needed.
That homerun also put him in the Dodgers (and MLB) history books.
