Dominic Smith made Braves history in his debut after signing a minor-league deal, hitting a walk-off grand slam to cap a comeback win over the Royals. The emotional homer came just 13 days after losing his mother to cancer, with Smith feeling her presence and crediting his faith for guiding him. It was Atlanta’s first walk-off grand slam since Brooks Conrad in 2010 and made Smith the first MLB player to achieve the feat in a team debut. He later shared the ball as a family keepsake with the fan who caught it.
