DIAMONDBACKS 12, ASTROS 6
Pavin Smith homered in first three at-bats for his first multi-home run game and drove in a career-high eight runs, helping Arizona rout Houston on Sunday night to end a three-game losing streak.
Smith fell an RBI shy of the Arizona record set by Erubiel Durazo in 2002. Chris Iannetta also had eight RBIs for the Diamondbacks in a 2017 game. Smith’s previous high was six.
Smith’s first home run of the night followed back-to-back singles to start the second inning and struck the foul pole in right. Arizona had increased the lead to 4-0 when Smith came up with the bases loaded in the third and sent a 2-2 fastball from Justin Verlander into the Crawford Boxes for the third career grand slam.
