LOS ANGELES (AP) — Will Smith of the Los Angeles Dodgers homered three times against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night.
He’s just the fourth Dodgers catcher to hit three in one game, joining Yasmani Grandal (2016), Mike Piazza (1996) and Hall of Famer Roy Campanella (1950).

1935 The Cuccinellos become the third pair of brothers, following the Waners (2) and Ferrells, and the first on opposing teams to homer in the same game when Al goes deep in the bottom of the ninth in the Giants' 14-4 loss to Brooklyn at the Polo Grounds. The New York's third baseman's sibling, Tony, played second base for the Dodgers and had homered in the previous inning.
1946 Responding to Red Barber's remarks about the gentile Giants and their manager Mel Ott, Dodger skipper Leo Durocher tells the team's announcer, "Nice guys finish last." Master Mel's club finishes the season in the cellar, completing the campaign 36 games behind the first-place Cardinals, but his team beat the Dodgers today with their 7-6 walk-off victory at the Polo Grounds.
1947 Appearing 11 weeks after Jackie Robinson's Dodger debut, Larry Doby of the Indians becomes the first black to appear in the American League when he strikes out as a pinch-hitter against Chicago hurler Earl Harrist. The 23-year-old former Newark Eagle standout will play in the major leagues for 13 years, amassing 1,515 hits, just three less than Jackie Robinson.
1952 In their final season in Boston, the Braves play in front of the largest home crowd of the season when 13,405 fans watch Brooklyn beat the home team for the 12th consecutive time, a 5-3 complete-game victory by Carl Erskine. The contest's most memorable moment occurs in the second inning when a small dog has to be escorted off the field by Dodger outfielders Carl Furillo and Duke Snider.
1961 Cardinals' first baseman Bill White collects 14 total bases when he hits three home runs and a double. The 27-year-old infielder's offensive output helps the Redbirds rout the Dodgers at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, 9-1.
2004 At Dodger Stadium, Diamondback third baseman Chad Tracy's ninth-inning run-scoring single on an 0-2 changeup ends Eric Gagne's record streak of 84 consecutive saves. The new mark established by the Los Angeles closer is 30 more than the previous standard set by Tom Gordon for the Red Sox in 1999.
2007 At Dodger Stadium, Chipper Jones' two solo home runs are the difference in the Braves' 8-6 victory over Los Angeles. With his pair of round-trippers, the team's third baseman surpasses Dale Murphy for the Atlanta team record of 372 homers.
Snakes strike back with six in ninth, lead Fryers 8-7. SD closer with total meltdown, surrendering a slam and a two-run shot.

A win
PHILthy
Woo-HOO!!!!
Wah-Ooh!!! Dodgers Win!!!
Outstanding futuring!
Snakes blow it on Machado walkoff.
There’s two!
Now Snakes are trying to blow it to the Pads.
Dodgers should have signed Profar instead of Heyward.
Love that Teoscar smile!
TEO!!!
Quite the AB!
Wow. Chopped that one!
Freddie!!!
YES!!!!!
Hi all. Just ended a writers group meeting. Will Smith?!?!?! My goodness. Up to Freddie in the 8th now.
Snakes staging a comeback against Fryers in the ninth.
Nice play by Vargas.
Not routine.
Rats!!
A threesome for Will
It would be truly beautiful if the Dodgers won on his walkoff.
Wah-Hoo Willy!!!!
Take a seat, meat.
Freddie misses a meatball.
Only by 4 inches
Fryers burning Snakes 7-2 after six.
Tie it up Will
It's dark at Dodger Stadium but I'm wearing sunglasses here in WA.
Growing up in Tacoma, I had to wait until almost 10 pm for it to be dark enough to hear Vin on KFI.
Gotta get the bounce
Ohtani now with 6 consecutive Ks
With this ump, you better be swinging at anything close.
Vargas is hitting well. .325 .391 .575 .966
Taylor's last 15 games doing well as well.
Maybe if Glasnow were paid another $50 more he would be better.
$50MM
Only one out still and now two
So
Outman would have had it
Doubtful.
Right down the middle. Good grief..
I step out for a moment, and Glasnost has a mini-meltdown.
At least the ump is missing calls both ways.
Smith with another good at bat
Against Civale, Will Smith is the new Christian Walker.
Another terrible umpire. Geez.
Borderline calls go against Ohtani.
Good at bat for Vargas
Vargas now taking ground balls at third
Actually, he's leading off first base.
Time is relative, right?
Spiders outhit Gnats 11-6, but lose 4-2.
Thanks Freddie
A Dilly Pop.
Smith gets a dinger
Easy first for Glasnost.
