Diamondbacks' Smith Makes History with Epic Performance

Smith's Historic Night Powers Diamondbacks to Victory

Pavin Smith made history on Wednesday night, becoming the first player in Diamondbacks history to homer in his first three at-bats of a game. Smith's historic performance led the Diamondbacks to a 12-6 victory over the Houston Astros.

Smith's first home run came in the first inning, a solo shot off Astros starter Jake Odorizzi. He then hit a two-run homer off Odorizzi in the third inning, and a three-run homer off reliever Ryne Stanek in the fifth inning. Smith's eight RBIs were a career high.
