Will Smith Powers Dodgers' First Spring Homer
27 Feb
Summary
- Will Smith hit the Dodgers' first spring training home run.
- The Dodgers remain undefeated through their first five spring games.
- Several key players will soon depart for international competitions.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, reigning back-to-back champions, have finally recorded their first home run of the spring training season. Will Smith, who hit the decisive home run in the previous season's Game 7 of the World Series, broke the ice with a game-tying solo shot in the fifth inning. This occurred during their 7-6 victory against the White Sox at Camelback Ranch.
Despite the team's initial homerless streak, they remain undefeated through five spring games. Manager Dave Roberts noted the fitting nature of Smith being the first to homer. Following Smith's blast, Keston Hiura and Hyeseong Kim added consecutive home runs, securing the lead. The team is currently managing the upcoming departures of key players like Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Smith for international competitions.
