Smashes fourth home run Smith went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, walk, caught stealing and two strikeouts in a 6-2 win over the Padres on Sunday.

Impact Smith walked and was caught stealing second base in the second inning and blasted a solo home run to center in the fourth. After launching 10 home runs in 50 games in 2020, Smith has just four through 49 games season and owns a decent .260/.332/.373 slash line. One added factor of late has been Smith's activity on the bases, with both his steals and lone caught stealing all having come in June.

Impact Smith carried the Mets offensively and contributed with three of the team's five runs, blasting a two-run shot in the top of the fourth and adding another RBI with a sac fly in the sixth. He's hit safely in three straight games and in nine of his last 12 contests, though he's only hitting .268 with a 20.8 percent strikeout rate in that span. Smith also ended his homer drought, as the two-run shot was his first long ball since April 13.
