Will Smith’s Wife Welcomes Third ‘October Baby’ Just Before Dodgers’ Game 3 vs Brewers

The Los Angeles Dodgers are in a bind in the NLCS, down 2-0 to the Milwaukee Brewers, but catcher Will Smith has a personal reason to feel hopeful. His wife, Cara, gave birth to their third daughter, Carter, on Wednesday, right before Game 3. What’s special? All three of their kids were born in October. Cara shared the news on Instagram with a sweet post, and the family is over the moon. Smith, who’s been slumping at the plate with just one hit this postseason, is still suiting up for the game, catching Blake Snell. The timing is perfect—it gives him a break between games, but now he’s back to work in a must-win situation. The Dodgers, hoping Carter’s arrival brings some luck, need to turn things around fast. Even Shohei Ohtani is struggling, but Smith isn’t using injuries as an excuse. Manager Dave Roberts is keeping him in the lineup, batting seventh. It’s a tough spot, but with a new baby at home, Smith might just find that extra spark.
