Dominic Smith has felt his mother’s presence every day since she died March 15 after a battle with cancer. Yvette LaFleur was on Smith’s mind Saturday when the Braves designated hitter smacked a walk-off grand slam in the ninth inning to give Atlanta a 6-2 win over the Royals. “You know, I’m trying to hold back tears now,” the former Met told reporters after the game.
