Catcher Will Smith led the Los Angles Dodgers offense on Opening Day, driving in half of the runs during the team’s 8-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
With the loss of Trea Turner, Smith moved up in the lineup, taking over as the No. 3 hitter. Smith collected three hits on the night and took advantage of the opportunity to drive in runs.
After the D-backs took an early two-run lead, Smith came up in the third inning with runners on second and third base. The 28-year-old shot a fastball off Zac Gallen the other way, scoring both runs and tying the game.
