The Los Angeles Dodgers were clinging onto a one-run lead against the Kansas City Royals midway though Sunday’s decisive series finale when Will Smith stepped up to the plate to face reliever Steven Cruz. Cruz got the first two outs of the sixth inning, but he was unable to do the same against Smith. The 30-year-old catcher hit a 421-foot solo home run to center, sparking Los Angeles’ surge to a 5-1 victory.
