The San Diego Padres rivalry with the Los Angeles Dodgers can officially add a new chapter to the book. The Padres took two of three in Los Angeles in a drama-filled weekend. On Saturday, the two sides got into it with Dodgers catcher Will Smith firing back at Jurickson Profar and calling him “irrelevant.” After the victory, Padres star Manny Machado was asked about the situation with Profar and Smith, and Machado fired back at the Dodgers catcher (h/t Aiden Gonzalez of ESPN).
The Los Angeles Dodgers have assembled one of the most impressive lineups in MLB history with former MVP Award winners in Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman occupying the first three spots. The rest of the group has no shortage of talent either as Will Smith, Max Muncy, Teoscar Hernández and Chris Taylor are among the players with at least one All-Star selection to their name. Smith has been off to a tremendous start as the Dodgers' cleanup hitter, entering play Wednesday with the highest batting average in baseball at .400.
The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched a series win against the Minnesota Twins with a 6-3 victory backed by an electric performance from Tyler Glasnow while James Outman and Will Smith provided the offense. The 14 strikeouts tied a career-high for Glasnow, which he previously achieved twice — once in 2021 and again in 2023. The right-hander went on a run of six consecutive strikeouts from the third through fifth inning, which included striking out the side in the fourth. Up until the seventh inning, Austin Martin was the only Twins player to record a hit, and Byron Buxton added their third on a broken bat single.
