Going into the series finale in San Francisco, CA’s Oracle Park, Dominic Smith was 14 for 36 (.389/.476/.500) with a double, home run, three RBIs, five walks, and five runs scored in his previous 11 games.
As mentioned in the Nationals’ notes for the third game of three with the Giants, Smith, “... struck out just three times in 42 plate appearances over [that] stretch,” which took him from a slow start and .221 AVG on the year up to .277 after a 3 for 3 game on Tuesday in which he’d added a walk to the three hits.
