Smith went 1-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 10-4 loss to Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Smith returned to the starting lineup after being held out against a pair of left-handers Friday and Saturday. The lefty-hitting Smith has a .619 OPS against southpaws and .772 against righties. Manager Torey Lovullo has been consistent all season with using matchups like this, and that practice should continue as he evaluates several young players, some of whom hit from the right side, that have been added within the last month. Smith has done enough this season to warrant a role on the Diamondbacks in 2022.
