Smith blasted two homers in the game, much to the delight of Astros fans. He batted in four runs for his club.</p><p>Following the contest, Smith said it was <a href="https://x.com/HoustonChron/status/1913496752029581569" rel="noopener">a healing experience</a> for him.</p><p>“I feel like me again,” Smith said following the game, per the Houston Chronicle.</p><p>Smith now has three home runs on the season, after blasting those two on Friday. He has also posted 10 RBIs this season for Houston.</p><p>Even though Smith had the best game of his Major League Baseball career against the Padres, <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/astros-top-prospect-cam-smith-hits-two-homers-vs-padres" rel="noopener">he still was not satisfied</a>.</p><p>“My reactions weren’t quick enough,” Smith said, per MLB.com.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/astros-news-gm-dana-brown-talks-jose-altuve-left-field-transition">The Astros are now 9-10 on the year </a>following the win.

Astros manager Joe Espada is noticing how hard his young outfielder is trying to improve.</p><p>“He’s so good staying right- and right-center field, his discipline at the plate is really good,” Espada said. “Trusting his ability to get stuff out in front and take advantage of the Crawford Boxes once in a while.”</p><p>Smith is playing in his first MLB season. He is hitting .224 for the club, through 49 total at-bats. His performance on Friday was extremely impressive, especially considering <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/padres-news-pull-feat-not-seen-1876">the Padres have one of the best rotations in baseball</a>.</p><p>“For me, he’s progressing,” Espada added. “Sometimes we want to slow things down [like] any young player, remind him to be successful you’ve got to be patient. It’s one swing at a time, one at-bat at a time — and he’s doing just that. That fact he pulled the ball with authority, that’s a good sign. That’s exactly what we need out of him.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/astros-news-cam-smiths-heartfelt-reaction-after-awesome-mlb-debut">Smith is considered a top prospect for the Astros</a>. Houston is hoping to have a big season from him, as the club looks to win the American League West division again. The team is coming off a 2024 season where they won 88 regular season games.</p><p>The young outfielder admits he still has a long way to go.</p><p>“There was a lot to learn in the first 19 games. But it’s a good feeling to produce for the guys,” Smith added.</p><p>The Astros and Padres play again on Saturday. San Diego is one of the toughest clubs in MLB this season, with 15 wins.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
