Will Smith sat on the Los Angeles Dodgers bench all night before being called to the on-deck circle. He responded by hitting the third pitch he saw for a record-setting pinch-hit, walk-off home run out of Dodger Stadium.

Will Smith came through for the Los Angeles Dodgers when the lights were brightest against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday, playing the hero off the bench for the third time in his career.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have aggressively managed rest days for Will Smith this season, and one of those came Wednesday night as he was not in the lineup against the San Diego Padres.
