Pavin Smith

Pavin Smith went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and six RBI in the Diamondbacks' dominant 14-1 victory over the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

After being called up this past Friday, Smith certainly made the most of his second start of the season for the Diamondbacks. The 28-year-old has shown spurts of offensive production over the last few years, but he's never really been able to find consistency. Fantasy managers should just wait and see.
