“#Mets\u2019 Dominic Smith fine after crashing into wall, lobbies to keep DH<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n WASHINGTON \u2014 Dominic Smith was shaken, but not enough to consider an early exit from Game<\/a> 1 of Saturday\u2019s doubleheader.<\/p>\n

After face-planting the left-field fence in the fifth inning on Andrew Stevenson\u2019s flyball that became a game-tying, inside-the-park homer, Smith insisted he remain on the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was no way any manager, coach or staff was going to pull me out of that game,\u201d Smith said after the Mets lost 4-3 and 5-3 to the Nationals, noting he passed concussion protocol.<\/p>\n

Smith said he is fine physically.<\/p>\n

In a season in which he shuffled between left field, first base and designated hitter, Smith is aware it\u2019s possible the DH won\u2019t stick in the National League next year, limiting his options. If the DH is eliminated, Pete Alonso would likely take the majority of playing time at first base, with Smith in left field.<\/p>\n
