  • Will Smith C | LAD

    Dodgers' Will Smith: Laces homer, triple

The multi-hit game was the 27-year-old's third in his last four games and he's batting 7-for-16 with a home run and two triples during the current hot streak. Smith's .257 average across 19 September contests represents one of his lowest marks of any month this season, but his .529 slugging is his second-best thanks to half of his 18 hits going for extra bases.

  • Braves' William Contreras: Belts 20th homer

    Contreras went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI single and a walk in a 6-3 victory over the Phillies on Saturday.

    Contreras went deep off Bailey Falter for his 20th home run of 2022. It has been a breakout season for the young catcher, who has proven himself as one of top power bats at the thin position. Atlanta has given Contreras only 344 plate appearances this season, so he could be a 30-home run hitter with more playing time. The 24-year-old has a solid slash line of .279/.349/.519 on the campaign.
