Will Smith Delivers Dodgers a Walk-Off Masterpiece Against Padres
Let me tell you what just went down at Dodger Stadium—because it was nothing short of electric. You’ve got Will Smith, Dodgers’ All-Star catcher, spending most of the game on the bench. He’s supposed to be having the night off. But when it matters most, with the game tied in the bottom of the ninth, he gets called up to pinch-hit. And boom—he absolutely delivers.
We’re talking a walk-off home run. A 377-foot blast to right-center field that left the stadium shaking. The Dodgers win it, 4-3, over the Padres. And just like that, Smith becomes the hero of the night, again.

This wasn’t just any walk-off. It was Smith’s third career pinch-hit walk-off home run, which officially gives him the most in Dodgers history, passing Rick Monday. That’s elite company. That’s clutch beyond belief.
What’s crazy is that before this big moment, Smith was just watching from the dugout. But Dodgers manager Dave Roberts made the call after the Padres tied it up in the top of the ninth. The pressure was real. Two runners on base. One out. And Smith took a 90.9 mph changeup from Padres pitcher Robert Suarez and crushed it—exit velocity nearly 100 mph, launch angle 29 degrees, perfect swing mechanics. It was textbook power and perfect timing.
Let’s not forget the pitching, either. Emmet Sheehan made his season debut after recovering from Tommy John surgery and looked strong through four innings. Justin Wrobleski kept things quiet for a while before surrendering the tying runs. But Smith made sure it didn’t matter.
This win secures at least a series victory for the Dodgers in this four-game showdown with San Diego. And the way it ended? Pure Hollywood.
So yeah, Will Smith may not have started the game—but he sure as hell finished it. And in style. That’s what legends do.
