Will Smith homers twice as Dodgers complete sweep of Mets with rout

LA Times  

Will Smith hits his second home run of the game in the eighth inning Wednesday. “A lot of us took that,” first baseman Freddie Freeman added, “and kind of ran with it.” Indeed, after arriving in New York this week with losses in five straight games, nine of their last 16 and a star-studded offense averaging just 3.5 runs per contest since May 10, the Dodgers left the Big Apple back on track by Wednesday night. And, after enjoying an unplanned “work day” on Monday — when many of the team’s scuffling hitters stayed at the ballpark and hit in the batting cages even after the game was called — the Dodgers offense appeared to to shake its recent funk, exploding for 37 hits, seven home runs and the kind of top-to-bottom production that had recently been eluding their star-studded lineup. “We have a happy flight home.” While there were some positive signs at the plate for the Dodgers on Tuesday — when they mounted a late comeback with 11 hits in Game 1 of their doubleheader, then tacked on 10 more hits in a Game 2 win — Wednesday was their first true offensive outburst in several weeks. “Today, you can see when they’re taking productive at-bats, getting hits, taking walks good things happen,” Roberts added.
