Smith went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and two walks versus Cleveland in a 7-2 win Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith capped the scoring in the contest with a 409-foot solo shot in the ninth inning.

He also leads MLB with a .476 batting average with runners in scoring position, going 20-for-42 with 25 RBI in those situations.
