Will Smith Hits Three-Run Homer in Dodgers' Win

Several MLB players are drawing attention for their home run potential and recent performances. Taylor Ward of the Los Angeles Angels has hit five home runs this season, ranking 11th in MLB, and faces the Texas Rangers, whose pitchers have allowed among the fewest home runs. Dansby Swanson of the Chicago Cubs, with four home runs and a .177 batting average, faces the San Diego Padres and their strong pitching staff. Kyle Tucker leads the Cubs with five home runs and 18 RBIs, also facing the Padres and starter Nick Pivetta, who has been effective with a low ERA and few home runs allowed. Will Smith of the Dodgers hit his second homer in a recent win over the Rockies and has maintained a strong .367 batting average through 16 games. These matchups highlight both individual power hitters and the challenge posed by opposing pitchers known for limiting home runs.
