Story summary

Will Smith became a father to his third child before NLCS Game 3 between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers. In a critical moment during the sixth inning, with the bases loaded, Brewers manager Pat Murphy's decision to keep right-handed pitcher Abner Uribe on despite walking three batters backfired when Will Smith hit a double off Uribe’s 98.4 mph sinker, scoring two runs and giving the Dodgers their first lead of the game at 2-1. The Brewers then replaced Uribe with DL Hall. This pivotal moment demonstrated Smith's improved performance after prior postseason struggles.
