Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith and his wife, Cara, welcome their third child—a daughter—shortly before the team’s NLCS Game 3 against the Milwaukee Brewers. Multiple outlets report that Cara announced the birth in the hours leading up to the matchup, with coverage framing it as a timely “October baby” moment as the Dodgers prepare for postseason play.
As the Dodgers head into Game 3, at least one report highlights Smith’s on-field impact during the game, noting his hitting performance as Los Angeles seeks key contributions in the NLCS. Other coverage focuses more on the personal timing of the birth rather than the specific game events, reflecting different emphases on Smith’s family news versus his immediate role in the postseason. Across sources, the shared point is the proximity of the family milestone to Game 3 and Smith’s continued presence in the Dodgers’ lineup.
