Pavin Smith has 2 HRs and 4 RBIs as Diamondbacks beat White Sox 10-0
[June 24, 2025]
CHICAGO (AP) — Pavin Smith homered twice and drove in four runs, and
Arizona beat the Chicago White Sox 10-0 on Monday night in a game that
saw the Diamondbacks lose Eugenio Suárez and Josh Naylor to injuries.
Suárez left after he was hit on the right hand in the first inning on a
pitch from Shane Smith. The team announced he had a right-hand contusion
and X-rays were negative. |

Naylor, who hit a two-run double in the first
for a 2-0 lead, appeared to injure his shoulder on a swing in
the second and left in the fourth after grounding out. He is day
to day with right shoulder discomfort.
Eduardo Rodriguez (3-4) gave up five hits and struck out 10 in
six innings. It was the first time he hasn’t allowed a run
through five innings since Sept. 24, 2023, while pitching for
the Tigers. He is 5-0 in five career starts at Guaranteed Rate
Field.
Anthony DeSclafani struck out four in three hitless innings for
his first career save. He issued two walks in the ninth before
striking out Michael A. Taylor to end it.
Pavin Smith extended the Diamondbacks' lead to 5-0 in the second
with his seventh homer — a three-run shot to right field off
Shane Smith (3-5), who lasted just two innings.
Ketel Marte and Pavin Smith hit back-to-back homers off Dan
Altavilla in the fourth for a 7-0 advantage. It was the 14th
home run for Marte, who finished 3 for 6 and has gone 13 for 21
with at least three hits in each of his last four starts.
Jose Herrera had RBI singles in the fifth and ninth.
Position player Vinny Capra made his third appearance in relief
this season for Chicago. He surrendered an RBI ground-rule
double to Geraldo Perdomo in the ninth following Herrera's RBI
but struck out Marte to end the inning.
Key moment
Suárez's return to the dugout with a smile on his face put one
on manager Torey Lovullo's after X-rays on his right hand were
negative.
Key stat
Arizona has won 10 of 13 in Chicago and 18 of 25 overall in the
series.
Up next
The White Sox haven't announced a starter for Tuesday against
Diamondbacks RHP Ryne Nelson (4-2, 3.88 ERA).
