Smith’s 1st career HR lifts Dodgers over PhilliesBy ASSOCIATED PRESShome/Sports/Top Sports/Smith’s 1st career HR lifts Dodgers over PhilliesLOS ANGELES: Will Smith is making himself at home during his first week in the major leagues. “I’ll remember that forever.”The unflappable Smith caught ace Clayton Kershaw for seven innings and then smashed his first career homer into the left field pavilion off Hèctor Neris (1-2). The man who nabbed it turned it over to Smith outside the Dodgers clubhouse and they posed for a photo together. The Dodgers have won 14 of 17; the Phillies lost their third in a row. Josè Àlvarez started for the Phillies in place of Zach Eflin, who went on the IL Friday with mid-back tightness.
