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.

EDGE Analysis
Smith doubled in the third to get his squad on the board and later came around to score as part of a six-run inning for the Diamondbacks.

It was the 25-year-old's first multi-hit effort since Aug. 20, as he raised his slash line to .270/.326/.406 with 37 extra-base hits, 43 RBI, 62 runs scored, a steal and 34:90 BB:K over 479 plate appearances.

Smith went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored Wednesday against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Smith took Nick Mears yard in the sixth inning for his 10th home run of the season. It was Smith's first home run since July 21, though he managed a solid 11 RBI and 13 runs scored across 22 games in that span. While he hasn't hit for significant power, Smith does have a decent .270/.326/.410 line with 57 runs scored and 42 RBI across 451 plate appearances on the campaign.
