Smith served as the designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Smith provided the winning shot, capping off a five-run sixth inning with his sixth home run and second in as many days. He's facing a challenge for at-bats in right field from Jake McCarthy, who's started four of the last five games there, and he appears to have responded by going 5-for-13 with three home runs over the last four games. When not in right field, Smith could get in the lineup as a DH or first baseman. Also, manager Torey Lovullo likes to play matchups based on the handedness of a pitcher, so Smith often subs into games that he does not start.
