Will Smith hit a late three-run homer, Shohei Ohtani added his 43rd of the season and the Los Angeles Dodgers extended their NL West lead to five games with a 10-9 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night.

A sold-out Chase Field got a wild show that included 10 combined runs in the first three innings, a big toe injury that knocked out Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, a run scored on a disengagement violation, and a four-run rally in the ninth inning that came up short.

8/06/24	Will Smith unconcerned about recent offensive slump. Will Smith got off to a scorching start for the Los Angeles Dodgers this season before cooling off at the plate in recent weeks.

When asked about his offensive woes last month, Smith ruled out a potential injury but did acknowledge he was not feeling like himself.
